SEXXXY paragraphs
1
In this shot it is called a long shot. For example this can be used to show the whole shot instead of jst a little part. this shows the "other mother" making dinner in the kitchen. the directors purpose was to show the whole kitchen and the "other mother" dishing up dinner for Coraline and the "other father". this worked well with the setting because it looks more homey. this aspect can be compared to the kitchen in the real world where it looks a home no one lives in.2
This shot used colour and lighting effectively. for instance this shows a artificial cold light coming from the wallpaper in Coralines room in the other world. this shows me that its girly and coraline likes pink. the director did this to bribe Coraline to live in the other world. this worked well with the colours and Coralines favourite colour. this aspect can be compared to the shot of Coralines room in the real world where it looks dull and boring.

dissection
Pig heart dissection
yesterday in biology we did a pig heart disection and learned about the purposes and reasons of all the veins and how each part works.
atriums-entry ways where blood enters each side of the heart from the veins
arteries-keeps blood away from the heart
veins-take blood back to the heart
ventricles-v shaped cavities which pushes the blood into arteries to take away from the heart
muscled walls-strong to help squeeze and push the blood around the body
septum-seperates left and right side of the heart
heart strings-strong fibres that hold the valves in place
valves-one way gates. let blood only move in one direction.
refelection:
it was yuck but funny to play with and when ibrahim cried about it, but i geuss it was fine and good to learn about.
