Story and film elements

Learning Outcome: Is to research and understand these 4 film elements. 

For this task, we had to make a DLO and put in our understanding of the 4 film elements these elements are:

Symbolism, Motifs, Sub-text and Pathetic Fallacy.

I have made a Powtoon to show my understanding of these four film elements I hope you enjoy and hopefully might even learn from these as well.



What did you think of this Powtoon was it helpful or not? If not comment on what I could do to make it better next time, you are welcome to surprise me with your ideas.

Anyways have a good day or night it was nice learning with you!

Spiritual Songs Sang from Slaves

Slaves became very religious, church and songs became very important to them. Songs were to uplift them, give them hope and help tell secret information to help escape (Wade in the water). Speaking of wade in the water I will be explaining the song to you guys.

(Wade in the Water)

Let's look at the lyrics first.

Chorus: Wade in the Water, wade in the water children. 

Wade in the Water. God’s gonna trouble the water. Who are those children all dressed in Red? God’s gonna trouble the water. Must be the ones that Moses led. God’s gonna trouble the water. 

Chorus Who are those children all dressed in White? God’s gonna trouble the water. Must be the ones of the Israelites. God’s gonna trouble the water. 

Chorus Who are those children all dressed in Blue? God’s gonna trouble the water. Must be the ones that made it through. God’s gonna trouble the water. 




Wade in the Water was to tell escaping slaves to get off the trail and into the water to make sure the dog's slavecatchers used couldn't sniff out their trail. People walking through water did not leave a scent trail that dogs could follow. 

Harriet Tubman was born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. 

How are these events still significant today? Well first of all people still say racial slurs and other things to put people down, for example, BLM and civil right for people of their colour. To sum up everything, Some people even still have slaves to this day plus, they even think it's still okay.

Atom Model

 Aim: To make a model atom

Method:

1. Choose an atom to make (one between Hydrogen and Neon)

2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.

3. Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.

4. Get a ball of blu tack and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.

5. Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.

6. Connect the nucleus and electrons shells with a piece of string.

7. Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.

Result:













Discussion: 

As you can see from the paper above the atom, it says BE which means beryllium and there are two numbers one at the top and one at the bottom. The top number is the atomic number you probably can't see the atomic number on the photo because I had no room, anyways the atomic number shows how much protons and electrons there are and the atomic number for beryllium is 4 making it have 4 protons and 4 electrons. Moving on to the bottom number (the mass number) is to show how much protons and neutrons there, as we know we have 4 protons and our mass number is 9 so that makes it so there are 5 neutrons together, forgot to mention that the middle part of an atom is called the nucleus and the nucleus is made out of protons and electrons. In the photo, you can see two rings and you're probably questioning that right now, the rings are for the electrons spinning around the nucleus, on the pink ring which is the 1st one there are 2 electrons and you can only have 2 of them on the 1st ring. The 2nd ring is another 2 electrons but you can have up to 8 electrons on that ring but since this is beryllium it has 2 on this ring.    

Conclusion:

To sum up everything I will explain my errors from the process of making my atom. My atom kinda formed weird since the tape was all mashed and mucked up, but eventually, I got it right and next time I would change the ways I use my tapes.
