Workshop 5: Music - English

 Tempo - speed of the music - fast/slow/moderate

Dynamics - volume - how bad or quiet it is

Key - Major - happy sound, Minor - sad sound

Rues Death - How is music used to create atmosphere: Depressing / Mournful / Sad 

minor, tempo-slow, dynamics-quiet, gets louder as Katniss raises her salutte + District 11 riots

What happened - Rue is killed, Katniss tries to give her body the closest to a burial that she can.

Colour / Lighting - natural lighting, greens, white flowers stand out - a symbol of innocence and purity - rue never killed anyone, kind, compassionate, a victim.

-Shots/Angles - medium close-ups - Rue & Katniss - see their emotions & facial expression, anguish - high angle - weak & vulnerable - Rue is an innocent + blameless victim.

Effect on viewers - the atmosphere of remorse/intense sadness, as the volume increase, it builds the intensity of the emotions - we see emotions are contagious - hope.

Rues Death - Directors Purpose: feel Katniss's emotions at that moment - remorse, anger, helplessness, acceptance, rebellion - a symbol of 3 finger salutte is a sign of defiance & anger towards the game makers - you will no take my humanity, also a symbol of unification with these who have lost loved ones to the games.

Music is used to create an atmosphere of emotions - sorrow and remorse in Rue's death scene. In this scene we see Katniss dealing with the slaughter of her young friend Rue. For example, the tempo is slow, the dynamics are quiet and the key is minor to reflect the emotional rollercoaster that Katniss is feeling. 

Like the music, Katniss moves slowly and methodically to cover Rue's body in white flowers. As she finishes, the music builds in volume, showing the escalating intensity of her anger and despair towards the Capitol. This makes us understand the pain experienced by the families of the tributes when they are killed each year. 

This was done to enable the viewer to feel the emotions of the characters. This worked well with the use of white flowers to symbolise Rue's innocence & purity and the high angle shot making her weak & vulnerable. Combined with the music we are shown that Rue is a victim of the cruelty of the Capitol.

Hurumanu-Crystal

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Crystal video

Definition of solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water) 

Definition of saturated: 

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)

In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.

Borax Crystals

Borax Crystals time lapse video

Ratio; 3 Tablespoons Borax per 1/2 cup water

Materials

1)Borax

2)Cups

3)Hot water

4)Stick

5)String

Process

Step 1:Add Hot water

Step 2:Add Borax

Step 3:Mix with Stick for ten minutes

Step 4:Make a star with some wire like shown above

Step 5:Use a peg and clip it to the star

Step 6:Put the star in the water and make sure the pegs not in water with it

Sugar Crystals

1)Sugar

2)Cups

3)Hot water

4)Stick

5)String

Process

Step 1:Add Hot water

Step 2:Add Sugar

Step 3:Mix with stick for ten minutes

Step 4:Get a string and tie it to a ice cream stick

Step 5:Put the string inside the water and the stick at the each end of cups

Step 6: 

Salt Crystals

Step 6:

Findings

Describe your crystals in the table below.

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	One big crystal	Large, Medium, Small.	Hard
Sugar	Cube	Small	Hard
Salt	Cube	Small	Hard

How is salt formed
How is sugar formed
How are snowflakes made 

Explain how the following crystals are formed:

Type	Explanation
Salt	As the water evaporates, the smallest particle begins to bond together. First, it is a single molecule and then slowly the molecules will bond together forming a crystal. Every single molecule will form into the same shape, the salt crystal will form into a six-sided dice. But it mostly is chunky.
Sugar	As the water evaporates, the fluid becomes more holdable of the water and the sugar molecules will continuously come out of the fluid and becomes hard slowly.
Snowflakes	It begins to form when the cold drop of water freezes onto a pollen or a dust particle in the sky, this then creates an ice crystal. As the ice crystal falls down, the smoke and other kinds vapour freezes onto the ice crystal building it into a shape like the one on the left. There's the snowflake.
