All of my work for Year 8 2024

  • Part 1

    Video 1

    Cady when describing what homeschool kids are like she says that Homeschooled kids are freaks, and that kids are either really dumb, or weirdly smart. Like when the 5 kids are saying that, ‘On the third day, God created the Remington bolt action rifle. So that man could fight the dinosaurs, and the homosexuals.’
    The kids are wearing old style and rugged clothes as if they work on a ranch or are wrapped in cotton wool all day long by their parents when they get home from an event. If a homeschooled kid is somewhat a nerd in a way, they wear on colored clothing like red or blue, with glasses and a dumb haircut and accent, to make them seem quite annoying in a way.

    If they are in some place in a forest or farm or anywhere remote, they would have a heavy southerly Texas accent and have clothes like patterned shirts and messy haircuts with overalls to seem they actually work at some farm with rifles and shooting ranges with targets to aim and shoot, and are not that smart and are disconnected with the outside word.

    Camels 1:

    Camera – In the first shot showing Cady at school multiple views is used like over the shoulder, a mix of the first view but zoomed, first person when walking through the chaos and a mix of a few at the same time.


    Acting – You can see Cady walking through the crowd stopping and bumping into people as well as looking around with caution and confusion, looking around being careful with her surroundings. As Cady enters the classroom and talks to someone she thought was the teacher but she wasn’t and acts in a bit of disbelief.


    Mise-en-scene – Her hair is tied back with the path heading right through the crowd and into the school with trees and benches outside. Teachers desk with a chalkboard behind that and desks for individual students to show the average high school students day and what classrooms are usually like in the US high schools.


    Lighting – The classroom is nicely lit up to have a comfortable background from a window since you can see the shadow on the wall from behind her. When Cady is outside you can see the environment outside is lit up presumably from the sun shining down.


    Sound – Firstly the Bus comes by with a loud sound and Cady’s Mum screams a little kind of showing her mum has never seen something like that before. Soon after the music plays and shows the chaos of the school

    Camels 2:

    Camera – High angle shots from what appears to be from the other girls view looking down on her making it look seem as if she was trying to expose her and Cady’s trying to defend herself. Then from Cady’s view down lower than the other girl in the car.


    Acting – Cady is acting is disbelief and shock when trying to defend herself against the truth that Janice is explaining to her and showing her. Janice is yelling at Cady and mocking Cady with exaggerated expressions of her of being a plastic girl trying to make it seem she is a real plastic.


    Mise-en-scene – Cady is wearing a dress that has mostly black as if she’s gone to a dark side like star wars, but has a pink stripe to show that she’s still a plastic girl. Cady is also randomly has a yellow towel as if she has a white flag in an attempt to peace things out.


    Editing – There isn’t much obvious editing here but some of the only editing choices is between the character scripts after one character talks the camera cuts to the other character. After the whole ordeal the sound of African tribal music fades into audio even though there is no-one playing music in the film.


    Lightings – The lighting in this scene if appearing from the surrounding street lights lighting up the characters to show them better in the dark and the lights from the car headlights.


    Sound – The sound of the picture being thrown and hit at Cady shows it made contact with her and then the sound of the car driving off as well.

    Part 2

    Varsity Jocks:

    Camera – The camera when coming past slowing pans across showing the different Jock characters and the activities they are up too and what there character is like at first.


    Acting – In the Cocks first appearance two of them appears to be hustling across the lunch table while the other 4 are watching over. Another Scene is when Jason is in an area with two friends, watching the madness unfold and acting all excited.


    Mise-en-scene – The Cafeteria scene shows the jocks in rows of 3 with food on the table like burgers and sandwiches showing what they usually eat for lunch, the average tasty meal. But the clothes they were wearing showed that they are all sport fans and that they are quite popular people around the school


    Editing – The camera in the cafeteria scene zooms past and the editing makes the camera blur and seem to teleport making a slight chaotic scene. But in the school jungle madness scene the camera cuts to from the girls fighting on the floor to the jocks ganging them on to do something.


    Lighting – Bright lighting is being shown onto the Jock characters to show their brighter personality and to show that they are not bad people but people to have fun around. For example the scene where all of the girls start fighting and his face is being shown onto brightly.
    Sounds – Jason may sound with high pitched voice when excited. Pne of the jocks starts making animal sounds in the background when Cady jumps the plastic girl in her imagination.

    Jason What makes him a Jock Character
    Jason acts like a jock character because of many factors, like clothing, some uncomfortable behaviors with a hint of some sexual harassment while talking to women in hope that they’ll like him. When in the cafeteria you can see him wearing some Football jackets for the school teams, which is a common thing to have in high school movies or shows. Shane is also quite hyper in dramatic situations like the girls fighting on the ground, which is when he shows his weird side which is actually quite sigma like when Andrew Tate said women can’t fight for the army and that they should have restricted rights, which is also quite a big wrong doing since Jason is a little woke in the head at times.

    Lebron James After editing using Dodge and burn technique:

    Simply by changing the RGB colour adjustment tool I made Lebron James into a Demon that has taken over the internet by storm.

    1. Compare and contrast the colour palettes used in Van Gogh’s self-portraits from his early works to his later ones. How do these choices reflect his mood or artistic development?
      – His first artworks were bland and plain and weren’t that exciting, but as time passed his personality was shown in his artworks and began to show more colour.
    2. Look closely at the brushwork in Van Gogh’s self-portraits. How does it change over time? How might these changes be connected to his emotional state or artistic influences?
      – His painting are shown and painted using small strokes and gave his artwork a special look, which could be paired to emotional state as time went on these strokes began to slowly progress to more clear images.
    3. Many of Van Gogh’s self-portraits focus on his face and upper body.  Find an example where the background plays a significant role.  What does the background tell you about his life or surroundings at that particular time?
      – His backgrounds showed a lot of the setting each of his artworks were in, and showed where he painted and where he was inside his house.
    4. Van Gogh painted numerous self-portraits throughout his career.  Why do you think he chose to depict himself so often?  What do you think he hoped to express through these self-portraits?
      – He used to depict himself often because he didn’t have much money to hire a model to paint so he decided to paint himself.
    5. Imagine you are an art historian studying the evolution of Van Gogh’s self-portraits. Choose two self-portraits from different periods of his life. Analyse the differences in style, expression, and symbolism used.  What can these differences tell us about Van Gogh’s journey as an artist and a person?
      – A lot of his artworks later were more serious and showed himself, but earlier he wasn’t so serious and more happy somehwat.

    LEARNING INTENTION

    1. Students will understand the history of self portraits
    2. Students will explore self portraits through time through multiple forms

    SUCCESS CRITERIA

    1. Students will investigate and discuss historical self portraits
    2. Students will analyse Vincent Van Gogh’s self portraits and how they depict him through various stages of his life


    1. Frida Kahlo created over 50 self-portraits throughout her life. Research several of these paintings and identify recurring symbols or motifs. What do these symbols tell you about how Kahlo viewed herself and the challenges she faced?
      – Many of Frida Kahlo’s self portraits have their own symbol, a lot of her artworks show a symbol of the different beauties and they don’t all have to be the same. Another symbol is her relation with nature in many of her artworks and as well as animals along side.
    2. Many of Kahlo’s self-portraits depict her in traditional Mexican clothing. How does her use of this attire shape the way she presents herself and her cultural identity?
      – She wears Mexican because it shows that although she may have facial details compared to a man she still thinks herself as a woman and that by having different facial features doesn’t change who she is.
    3. Compare and contrast two of Kahlo’s self-portraits created at different points in her life. How do her facial expressions, posture, and use of color change? What might these changes reveal about her evolving self-perception and experiences?
      – She goes from changing her head from front on to side on posture and went from the background from being different landscapes to more nature filled.

    Real time –
    Unpredictable –
    Quick Cuts –
    Lower frame rate –
    Filmed + edited to pre recorded score –
    “MTV” Style editing –

  • In this scene the character is being lit with a natural light lighted from the moon in the dark night.

  • Aunt may in 2017 is the youngest looking Aunt in the spider man series, Marisa Tomei acts out the character of aunt may in the spider man homecoming film and onward. She look younger compared to to peter parker other aunties which are usually quite older than the more recent aunt may. Which however fits the movie since Peter is quite young which would make his parents around the same age as aunt may.

  • Whitewashing is when a films actor acts out the stereotype of a character with a different ethnicity which causes problems since it’s not a person of their actual ethnicity and can be quite possibly offensive.
