Places in books

Author-“People’s lives, in Jubilee as elsewhere, were dull, simple, amazing, and unfathomable – deep caves paved with kitchen linoleum.”

Continued(What Chyna and I wrote)
Day in, Day out all they did was work. They never thought about leaving the small town. Most people had tiny pear-green houses. The houses were green so that they could hide from all predators. The biggest predator was a young girl called Stevie. Stevie had a sickening smell of rotten fruits and vegetables. She smelt so bad it made all the crops die instantly. In the dry season, they had wet the plants with the fog.

Film studies essay

Close up shots were used effectively in this film. For example, the director, Micheal Creagh, used a close-up shot when Ardel finds out his teacher(Miss Purday) is engaged. This shows the audience that Ardel is upset that Miss Purday is getting married and isn’t wearing the ring that he gave her. The director did this to show us how Ardel is feeling about Miss Purday being engaged to someone else. This works well with the change in Ardels facial expressions which went from happy to sad when he sees the ring. This reminds me of when Ardel is sitting in class staring at Miss Purday and the camera focuses on Ardel showing us that he has a crush Miss Purday.
A low angle camera shot was also used successfully in The Crush. We see this when Micheal Creagh(The director), used low angle camera shots when Ardel was looking at the wardrobe. This is used to show the audience that Ardel is thinking about using the gun on Pierce(Miss Purdays Fiance).  The purpose of this is to foreshadow something happening with the gun. Combined with the lighting to signal that something bad is going to happen. This also reminds me of the shot of him looking at the cowboy poster.
Sound effects were thankfully used in this film. For instance, the director used happy music the first time Ardel was walking through the park after giving miss Purday his ring. This makes the audience feel happy because they are listening to upbeat music. The director did this to show us that Ardel is happy that Miss Purday Accepted his ring. This worked well with another scene in the film which shows Ardel walking through the park again but the music, light and his facial expression have changed to show that he’s upset and sad.

English creative writing.

This is my creative writing. This is unfinished

The forest felt lonely almost empty. All you can hear is the chirping of birds in the distance and the leaves crunching when you walk on them. In the distance, I just make out three objects. as I come closer those three random objects appear to be chairs. A golden-brown colour wood with blue cushions.  The cushions felt like they have been left there for many years. The wood had started turning green colour from the mould. 

All of a sudden I hear the crunching of leaves again but I’m alone. I slowly turn around. behind the tall slim birch trees, I make out a brown bear.
