Environmental Sustainability

Picture




Paragraph 1

Being sustainable and cleaning the planet may seem as a hassle knowing their is a lot of people in the earth. The natural resources in the earth regrow, we humans and other living being use it for necessary needs or desires. But overusing them may lead them to be endangered or even extinct which in their regrowth rate is much more lower than the rate we collect from them. Also we need to have a fair sense of distributing things around so that one does not have more than the other. Climate changes and global warming are important things to consider as the environment of an animal or plant may go into a state of degradation in which it makes it harder for them to replenish.

Paragraph 2
Keeping the earth sustainable is vital to keep our species alive along with the other living being in it. I think that it also help people to think insightful of the future of whats going to happen if we weren't sustainable. For example, if we overused a specific species of animal to the point it cannot reproduce fast enough to balance our consumption. They wouldn't probably stay long and even the newer generations of people may not get to see or interact with them. Therefore this is why I think being sustainable is important and how it can affect everybody.

.

 Juxtaposed
- the complete opposites

themes - big ideas

1. looks can be deceiving 
2. courage and bravery   

colour is important in creating the two worlds and showing the theme ' looks can be deceiving!' this is shown when comparing the study's in the real and other worlds. the real world study is dull, dowdy and cold with a grey and blue colour palette, this makes the audience feels like the space is miserable and unpleasant to be in . the director this to show that coraline is  upset that her father is too busy to spend time with her. Juxtaposed to this is the study in the other world. Artificial oranges and reds make the other study feel warm, welcoming and enticing. Selick does this to show the audience that this is the kind of world Coraline world like to live in .colour is used to make the other world feel like a safe place but it is actually a trap to lure in coraline and steal her SOUL!.

English workshop

the real kitchen

• dark                                                            
• old
• cold
• nasty smell 
• lonely 
• boring 
• cloudy 
• raining
•  grey 
• dowdy 

cold light 

• blue 
• green 
• white 

feels 

• sad
• bored 
• lonely 

it tells how that everything in real world isn't perfect  and its also show how coraline feels in the real world which is sad, boring, lonely  

the other kitchen

• welcoming 
• warm 
• happy 
• safe 
• joyful 
• 
  

warm lights 

• red 
• orange
• yellow  

the other mother is trying to show coraline that the other world is much better then the real world

• the other house is like a web, but the house is the web, the other mother is trying to catch coraline by using the other house 

When comparing the real world and other world kitchens, lighting is used effectively to enhance the story. The real world kitchen uses a natural cold light coming through the window to make the space feel cold, bored and unhappy. The directer did this to show the audience that coraline isn't happy there. In comparison, the other world kitchen has an artificial warm orange lighting light that creates a welcoming, happy and safe atmosphere. Selick used this technique to show that coraline is happy in this perfect world. It is the perfect trap to  capture coraline. This can be compared to later in the film when coraline realises the other mother is evil from this point the lighting in the other world becomes duller like the real world to show coraline doesn't want to stay there anymore.
