SEXXXY Paragraphs

1. In the prison scene in the power of one, camera shots are used to show fear in the prisoners like Geel Pete. In this camera shot, they used an angled shot to make the guard more big and scary with the help of the baton. This shot was a low angle shot which made the guard scarier.  The purpose of this was to make the audience more afraid of the guard and to tell them that something is going to happen. The scene combined with the low angle shot was needed to make sure that the guard is in charge here. This can be compared to the singing scene where the guards used an elevator to make them so that they can look down at them.

Plastic Ono Band/Give Peace A Chance (1969) - John Lennon

 Give Peace A Chance (1969) - John Lennon





Lyrics
Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
C'mon
Ev'rybody's talking about Ministers
Sinisters, Banisters and canisters
Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Pop eyes
And bye bye, bye byes
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Let me tell you now
Ev'rybody's talking about
Revolution, evolution, masturbation
Flagellation, regulation, integrations
Meditations, United Nations
Congratulations
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Ev'rybody's talking about
John and Yoko, Timmy Leary, Rosemary
Tommy Smothers, Bobby Dylan, Tommy Cooper
Derek Taylor, Norman Mailer
Alan Ginsberg, Hare Krishna
Hare, Hare Krishna
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance


What was the message of this song:

John Lennon message in his song is saying war does not solve all problem but if you " give peace a chance" it may be a better solution to solve all the problems. (such as the Vietnam war).

SEXXXY Paragraph

How Film aspects show meaning in John. G. Avildsen's film "The Power of One".

S: In the concert scene, we hear the native South Africans sing a song in their language that was written by P.K., the main character.

E: The joyful song was lead by a native singer and the rest of the tribes sung harmoniously, whilst Doc played the piano and  P.K. composed. 

X: The song made the audience feel hopeful and it was moving. This was because P.K., through the singing - brought the tribes together.

X: The purpose of this was to help show that P.K. was the mythical figure of the Rain-Maker.

X: The singing combines with long shots that also shows the harmony of the natives as they are all sitting nicely together.

Y. The singing can be compared to the singing at the boxing match, as the now freed natives sing to P.K. to show him they think he is the Rain-Maker. Both lots of singing give a sense of hope for the native South Africans.


Perspectives of the people of NZ - The Beatles

Perspectives - The Beatles



Some people wanted the Beatles to come to NZ and some of them didn't because of cultural purposes. Today I will be discussing the difference of perspectives of the Beatles tour to NZ.



Why some people didn't want the Beatles tour to happen:

Some New Zealander's were against the tour because they were religious, some people saw the Beatles leading youth to sin and also troublemaking. Many people have become really psycho since the Beatles came and they were troublemaking and ruthless when it comes to them being here. Although the New Zealander's didn't think that the youth of New Zealand could handle the Beatles (which they were right) since the Australian's were also affected by causing chaos and things New Zealand was much worse since that they had less security.



Why People wanted the tour to happen:

New Zealanders wanted the tour to happen because most of them thought it was a time to express themselves, break traditions or something culture related or most of them just really like their songs and most people just like them for the way they are. Many thought that this was great for everyone, people who loved the Beatles could see the Beatles play and that all that's all I got to say about people perspectives.

Neutralisation

 Aim: To observe a neutralisation reaction. 


Method: 

- Get a test tube rack, 6 test tubes, acid, base and universal indicator.

- Fill 4 test tubes with 3mL of acid.

- Fill 2 test tubes with 3mL of base.

- Add a squirt of universal indicator to each.

- Add different amounts of acid and base to make the colours of the rainbow (ROYGBIV). 


Results:




Red bottle: acid

Blue bottle: base

Black bottle behind the test tubes: UI (universal indicator).  



Discussion: As you can see from the results, we have made a rainbow using bases and acids forgot to mention the UI (universal indicator) ROYGBIV is what we used to determine the scale of pH such as Red a strong acid, green neutral which means water and finally indigo a strong base, neutralisation is when acid and base fight/mix together so that they can form into the green zone (to make is a pH of 7) that is what we did in the photo you see above, in the Base, there are hydroxide ions (OH-)  and in the acid, there are hydrogen ions (H+). We had to add more or less of the opposing side (base & acid) to make these colours, and now I will tell you the pH scale of all of these colours shown in the picture, Orange/yellow 2 - 5 pH scale and blue/indigo 8 - 12.

Conclusion: In the end, we got pretty solid colours in our test tubes, our results were pretty colourful, unfortunately, we couldn't do violet because our equipment wasn't strong enough so we could only make ROYGBI, but next time I could try and make the colour violet in one of the test tubes.
