Wananga - Reflection on reading

 On this week of wananga or at my house that thing that I did is read a manga. The manga that I read in my spare time or in wananga is called Record of Ragnarok. Record of Ragnarok is a manga all about gods and humans or people. Record of Ragnarok is an anime as well and it is very good if it's in a movie or series.  Manga is a type of book that doesn't have colour on it, it only has a drawing of the anime. The record of Ragnarok is all about god and humans that fight for their lives, so this is the fight goes if the human won they will have one thousand years to live and if god died they just died. This fight has 12 rounds and the gods have two won and the human have one won. The god is very powerful but not telling that humans are not strong but the human is strong as well. One of the humans defeated one of the gods named posidon. This is all as far it goes.  This is the book that  I read in wananga or in my spare time. 

WANANGA REFLICTION - MATARIKI

MATARIKI 

What is Matariki - 

A cluster (collection of stars) which is made up of mainly 9 stars - between 7-9  are most visible in the night sky. Matariki was Formed more than 100 million years ago. Matariki was celebrated every year during the winter months. Matariki was Signifies as the start of the Māori New Year. Matariki is also referred to as the Pleiades or the seven sisters. It’s a time of remembrance to reflect on the previous year. The stars disappear from view around April/May and reappear in late June/July. Festivities are held throughout the winter months. Whānau came together during long, cold nights for entertainment and learning. A Tohunga (spiritual expert) would look to the Matariki star cluster to find out about the upcoming year's crop harvest. Bright, clear stars promised a warm and successful season. Hazy stars, however, warned of cold weather and poor crops.

Meaning of the stars -

Matariki signifies reflection, hope, connection to the environment and the gathering of people.

Waitī is connected with all freshwater bodies and the food sources that are sustained by those waters.
Pōhutukawa is connected to those that have passed on.

ENGLISH - Film studies

Branstrom -  A fox wants to buy a jumbo pop from the elephant's store but they won't sell it to him.

- The bunny officer steps in to help. 

Technique -  Colour - bright - heartening scene, animated at children so is colourful & engaging 

Light - Warm, Natural, bright - daytimes, hot sunny day, fox/ bunny spotlighting.

- High/low angles - elephants are taller, feels bigger, superior, we aren't meant to like elephants because they won't serve them- brought angrily tone, low. Angles from Fox  pov & high angles down onto fox makes him look small 

Statement- In the 'popsicle' scene, high angles shots are used to show the imbalance of power between characters. 

Evidence - We see this when the elephants are talking to the fox. The low angles shot is used to show how much bigger and more imposing the elephants is than the fox. 

X- Audience- This makes the audience feel sad for the fox because he is being refused service because of his size. 

X - Directors  - The purpose of this is to introduce the idea of stereotyping to the viewer. Appearing large and rough, the elephants' shopkeeper refuses service because he is a fox, Strengthening its idea is the elephant's quote ' Go back to your side town'.

X other technique - Combined with the use of the high angles shots, we see the differences in the characters, rather than the similarities. The high angles point of view makes the fox seem even smaller than the elephants towering over him.  

L real-world link - Issues like this where people are judged on their size, race or religion are not isolated to this film. in the real world, we tackle the ongoing issue of discrimination in every country, even in 2021. 

English Unpacking Themes and Ideas - Rojan

Tolerance - Tolerance means the ability to put up with others beliefs, attitudes & culture, even when you don't agree/it's different from your own. 

Overcoming adversity -  Pushing through something difficult or dangerous. 

Deep focus - everything in the image is sharp and clear

- Close up shots

- Costume - hat - a symbol of hiding, - Off shows feels safe, on wants hide, not be seen. 

Shallow Focus - focuses us on part of an image and blurs the rest - tells the viewer where their attention is needed 

In the Holocaust scene, the shallow focus is used to show the theme of tolerance. For instants, we see a picture being passed around the room until it reaches it through Jamal. The picture is a stereotype of an African American with big lips and has Jamal names on it. As he receives it, Jamal put his hat back on and shrinks into his chair. The shallow focus is used to bring our attention to the picture and its effect on Jamal. This makes us understand that the picture was used to bullet and embarrass Jamal. This director did this to help us empathise with the character and gain insight into their lives. Coinciding with this is the user is the use of customer -in this case Jamal hats. When Jamal puts the hats on, he wants to hide away and not be seen by the class. This scene introduces the viewer to the theme of the 2tolerance because we can see the currently the students do not respects each others culture, beliefs or identities. This makes students like Jamal feel unsafe in class.

Angles high and low- shows power/dominants 

Lighting - dim/bright- show emotions e.g jamal

Students- close up

Teacher- Mid shots 

We feel the distance between the students the teacher, gap in understanding 

emotion 

dialogues - Eva 

Close up - students, the director wants us to empathise with them, see it from their perspective. 

Mid shots - On teacher - shows the divide between them.  

In the Holocaust scene, close up are used to show the theme of the emotions of the students. For an instant,  Eva was shouting at the teacher because she 'hates white people on sight'. 

An Introduction to the Film: Task #1

ANNE FRANK -  Anne Frank was a Jewish girl and she writes a diary. Anne Frank was born in the country called German of Frankfurt is Main in 1929.  She wrote dairy every single day because she enjoys writing dairy. She and her family was the victim of the Holocaust for about two years. 

THE DAIRY OF ANNE FRANK -   Anne frank got her diary when she was thirteen years old she gets this on her birthday.  She got this gift because she really wants to write a diary. Her parents let her parents pick one out of herself in a bookshop.  

THE HOLOCAUST -   The Holocaust happen because nazis wanted to exterminate the Jews and that they could do so. We must consider the antisemitic Nazi ideology in the broader context of the age-old hostility towards Jews, modern racism, and nationalism.

MIEP GIES  -  Miep Gies was born on fifteen February 1909 in Austria.

These are some lyrics of the song desperado these are Desperado Oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger They're drivin' you home Freedom, oh freedom Well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

1 ESOL - What three items would be best to have of you were lost in the mountains?

 What three items would be best to have if you were lost in the mountains in New Zealand in winter, and why. 

If I was lost in the mountains in New Zealand in winter these are the three items  that I will pick to survive in the mountains in New Zealand  It is an axe, tent, and then a lighter. These three items will help to survive in the mountains by myself or if I was with somebody.

Axes are an important thing to survive in the mountains or in the woods. I pick axe because axe can do many things like cutting wood to make a fire that make you warm in to the winter,axe can be also use as a weapon to defend yourself to dangerous animal or creature that are all around in the mountains/woods,  axe can also be use to hunt for food to survive to the mountains. 

 

Tent is the one thing that you need to survive to the mountains. I pick this item because this can be use to sleep at night (safely), Then keeping yourself safe so no mosquitoes or something that are dangerous that may attack you, and last thing is that tent is keeping you warm instead of sleeping outside.  

Lighter is also the one thing to survive winter in the mountains or in the woods. I chosen this item because this item can do many things for instant using these item can making a fire, also help you to cook food,

his can be useful to scarered an animal if an animal is attacking you to the mountains, and last at least this can make vapor so people can see and help you to get out to the mountains.
