Hey guys it is Casey back here again with yet another post where today I am in English where our teacher has made this thing known as CARR licence where it works like a drivers licence.The idea is that the better we work then the higher up you get on the CARR licence scale.I am not entirely sure why we are doing this but I think we are doing this primarily to improve everybody's behavior in class,The privileges at the highest level which is Green are amazing and pretty much grants you freedom to pretty much do whatever you want.
In the 4 sections I would place myself in the yellow section which is the 2nd highest spot you can get and the scale is restricted,learners,full & expert.
The learning improvements I would make in order to get green is to work harder and to the best of my abilities and honestly I think I have a good chance of getting green

Hey guys it is Casey back here again with the first post of term three where for English we are reading through the book Tomorrow when the war began and after every chapter we write answers to the questions that we get given.And since I forgot to post my answers for chapter 1,I will also post those along with chapter 2 so here they are.Also I will put the questions here as well so you guys know what is going on.
chapter 1
1.An advantage of first person narration is that you actually feel what the story is like in the view of one of the main characters but the disadvantages of this kind of narration are that you only hear the story through the eyes of one person and not everyone.
2.I think the reason why Ellie says she needs to do it in chronological order is because then you can hear the story from the beginning to the end and it works better story wise.
3.word chosen/foreign/a characteristic of a country or language that is other than ones own and it is interesting because you could put this into a variety of situations
4.when Ellie explains Greek roulette to us it may be foreshadowing a section of a fight scene later on in the film.
5.she is probably gonna tell us a rebellion story because some rebellion story's start out like the way this one is and the title gives it away.
6.the set of skills varies from character to character and a set of skills that they all have is their intelligence which pretty much translates to everyone.With a few of them being smart enough for them to go by themselves for a few days
chapter 2
1.They ascended tailors stitch by driving up with a land rover that they had available at the time.
2.A concert that the town celebrates and the other event that happens is the fair that happens every year.
3.they were planning on going for about a week and I think the amount of food they need for that amount of time is about 7-10 kilo grams.
4.the hermit is supposed to be an ex murderer who killed his wife and baby.
5.I think that he will be significant to the story and actually give our main characters what they need to win this war
6.the descent down Satan's steps is definitely dangerous and the further down they go it will be harder to get back up and the dangers of the descent are that it is a long way down to the next step so their is the risk of breaking an arm & a leg and i would have went ahead and looked to see if their was a way around Satan's steps that was much easier.
7.I predict that the bridge signifies that they are not the first ones here and may run into some ruins of an old town from long ago.
chapter 1
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of first person narration?
- Why do you think Ellie needs to tell the story in chronological order?
- Pick one interesting word from the chapter, find its meaning, and explain why it is interesting.
- John Marsden foreshadows several events and characters in this chapter. Make three predictions based on the evidence in the text about what may occur later in the story.
- What kind of story do you think Ellie is going to tell? Uses evidence from the text to support your answers.
- What set of skills do these characters have that convince their parents that they can ‘go bush’ independently. Find examples for three characters.

chapter 2
- How did the group of teenagers ascend Tailors Stitch?
- What are the two special events happening the day after the teenagers leave for the bush?
- How many days were they planning on staying? How much food do you think is reasonable to bring, split between 7 teenagers?
- Who is the Hermit and what is he supposed to have done?
- Do you think the Hermit will be significant to this story? Why/Why not?
- Is their decent down Satan’s Steps into Hell dangerous? Discuss what are the dangers, how could they have made it safer, what would you have done?
- Predict what the bridge signifies
1.They ascended tailors stitch by driving up with a land rover that they had available at the time.
2.A concert that the town celebrates and the other event that happens is the fair that happens every year.

Hey guys it is Casey back here again with yet another post where today I am in english where I have done an essay on the hang him up scene from The Power of One and this is the entire thing.Yes I know that it is a lot but for my explanation on the camera angles used in this one scene then you are gonna want to read this.
There are many examples of film techniques being used in this one scene from The power of one’s hang him up scene but there are more than a few that stand out over the others.
The use of low angle shots are primarily used with Jaapie Botha to establish his supremacy over P.K showing whereabouts P.K is in this dilemma. This can be seen after Jaapie kills/executes
P.K’s chicken where a low angle shot is used to establish his supremacy right before P.K pushes him over. This shot was used by the director to show us the fight that P.K is in. This also shows us
that P.K is driven by his emotions as we get a close up of his face which shows us both fear and hatred in his eyes.
The impact that this scene creates is perfect for showing us who the enemy is for the story. The low angles used also shows us how much power Jaapie has over P.K, This use of low angles is used really
well in setting up where the characters allegiances ly.
Another example of film techniques used well in this scene also includes the use of low key lighting. An example of this is right after Jaapie gets slapped in the face you can only see one half of both
jaapies and P.K's faces which control the contrast between these two adversaries. The director's purpose for this is to show who our main characters are going to be throughout the film because they are
the only ones that have had any character development so far in the film. The way that this created impact was by using it on our main characters and environment only showing us who we are looking out
for. This used with the low angles really helped to set the scene for the film as a whole.
Another technique used was the use of diegetic sound which in this case is the German martial music playing in the background. An example of this is when we see Jaapie get a knife tattoo of the Nazi
logo on his arm it shows us what he believes in. The director's purpose for this is to show us what kind of person Jaapie is and what he believes in and that he devotes himself to the wrong cause as we know
from history. The impact that one moment creates is not just “oh no” but it is really more of a“you gotta be kidding me” moment and it is pretty much the point in which P.K is gonna have a hard time from
now on. All of that shows us what has become of the antagonist in this film and what he has devoted himself to.
After all of that the low key lighting followed by the low angles & diegetic sound, it gives us a truly impactful scene demonstrated beautifully by John G Avildsen. This created impact causing the
audience to know who we should be rooting for and who we should be rooting against.
Anyway I think that about raps it up for today and I hope you guys enjoyed and I shall see you guys in the next post bye bye

Hey guys it is Casey back here again with yet another post where today I am in art doing a self portrait and I guess this could technically be classed as a face reveal but I am not really sure.Anyway this is my beautiful face in graphite(sorry if you can not see it all that well)
this was primarily the first part of the task that was served to us because we had to do a woodcut on it later even though we used lino boards to do it.But nonetheless I got the same result as I would regardless of the material I was using.
The next part we had to do was to put ink on the cut and then make a print on paper which I did twice in red then purple because that was what was available

This app is the best you will ever find
Hey guys it is Casey back here again with yet another post where me and my friends have developed an app for people getting into gaming which was my idea to begin with which we all built upon and turned into a reality.
The way we came up with this idea is from using a program called padlet which we all posted ideas and then voted on who's we should do.In the end it was the idea of an app to help people get into gaming that we decided to build upon.
Using padlet again we put up ideas of what we should add to the app like terminology ,platforms , helpful tips e,t,c.Once that was done we got to work on actually developing the app which went pretty smooth thanks to the program known as code.org.
Our latest page we went making was stereotypes of Gamers which went well and there might be a few updates to it here and there but we will be good until then.
D,L,O
https://studio.code.org/
Reflection
Overall this project went really well and it was enjoyable for the most part and was an interesting experience.Personally I did learn a whole bunch of stuff while doing ths related to coding through the hour of code tutorial produced by code.org and personally we could have done better in some aspects of it but overall I think everyone did their part well and I hope we get to do something like this again.
Also for all of you guys to know,the rolls we had were Caleb/primary coder & bossman69,Me/Ideaman,Rosa/secretary & page writer,Nivvy/moral support.I personally liked my position and I would not mind doing it again despite someother teammate getting annoying at times.
The part that took the longest to do was the terminology section which is lit AF as they say but aside from a few cosmetic changes and other stuff then This is one the best d,t,e experiences I have ever had.
Also here is the mind map we did for the app you may remember from a few posts ago.

code.org(2013)https://code.org/
Also I have a question for all of you reading this and that is if you had an app idea would you actually create it?
Anyway I think that will be all today and I hope you guys enjoyed and I will see you guys in the next post bye bye
P,S did you spot the Ready Player One reference if you did say it in the comments

This paragraph is s,e,x,x,y
Hey guys it is Casey back here again with yet another post where today I am in English where we are writing a paragraph on one scene in the film the power of one.We had to use the s,e,x,x,y paragraph structure
here is the paragraph that me and the group made
anyway I hope you guys enjoyed and I will see you guys in the next post bye bye
here is the paragraph that me and the group made
S: The director uses a long shot to show sergeant borman looking at Geel Piet.
E: For example in the long shot we see sergeant borman is being suspicious because he has his baton by his side so you get the feeling that Geel Piet is going to be in trouble.
X:The director does this because it shows us that the sergeant knows something is off and thinks it is because of Geel piet.
X:The effect on the audience is that they feel a sense of danger for Geel Piet because they know he has done something wrong and that he will be in trouble and the audience doesn’t want him to be in trouble.
Y:We get the same feeling of danger when Geel Piet is telling sergeant borman what the song means before he dies. anyway I hope you guys enjoyed and I will see you guys in the next post bye bye
