In the garden scene,music is effectively used to create mood, energy and anticipation. This is demonstrated by the use of tempo, cords and dynamics in the music as Coraline enters the garden. The tempo is fast to create a feeling of energy. although it has a lot of energy the music is in a minor key to for shadow that things aren't quite right in the other world. It starts with quiet dynamics and gets louder to build anticipation. this makes the audience understand that something will go wrong later but for now, Coraline is enjoying the other world. The director did this to show that that other garden is a lively and energetic place, unlike the real world.

Assessing against the self directed learner matrix

Three Goals:

1. I need to develop the skills I need to learn - I'm going to listen when I need to 

2. Make a time limit with my learning - Write down in a doc what I need to get finished in a certain amount of time

3. Have a more positive attitude towards my learning - Don't make comments against the work when I don't need to.

Geometrocity

Geometrocity

In maths for the last few weeks we have been working on a city. We have created this big city that includes parks, ponds, food shops, ect. We got into groups and started the process of creating the city. 

my group never got all of our city's finished due to people being away. There were five groups After putting all the groups city's together it looked like this.

 I think there could be some more buildings included in the big city. This process was very hard and stressful but I learnt to take my time and don't get frustrated. 

Writers block

Dear writers block, it's not you, it's me….

I'm terribly sorry I had to do this through a letter, this felt better than talking to you in person because I am a wuss like that... I feel like we need to talk. I have done a lot of thinking about us a lot lately, and I thought that we would be together forever. Things changes and both of us have changed we have to go our different ways and separate.

I feel like you take me for granted. You just do whatever your want to, you never consider my feelings, you never even ask me how I felt about important things. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, I don't wanna hurt you but I feel like it's the only chance I have. I think it is time we break up. I need sometime by myself to see what it’s like on my own sorry Writers Block but it's over.

This note will be the last memory you'll ever have of me, I really don't care for you anymore, that's the way it is.. Don't let it get you all upset inside, It is because of your extreme mental problems that keep me from being even remotely interested in continuing this relationship with you.

I'm glad this is done and we're going separate directions for good. I think you'll find someone to have a decent conversation with a person of the opposite gender. And hopefully We will be at opposite ends of the country. You'd be much better off finding a person that can deal with your acts. I might miss certain things about you such as the time you would always jump out and scare me.
