Business
For business we were give a task to make banknotes. We had to create 2 note's but had to make a front and back. Both sides had to contain 5 of 8 characteristics of good currency the characteristics are:
On my banknotes I have put the " This note is tender for 20/100 dollars". I put that there so it is difficult to counterfeit. I also put the number and letters in a line, and there is a clear oval so it is more difficult to counterfeit. I put the amount the note is worth twice on each side. I put the school logo on the note so everyone knows where you can use it. There is a picture of the principle because he is the one who runs the school.
- Generally accepted
- Durable
- Divisible
- Stable/ consistent
- Transportable
- Scarce

Workshop 3
Atmosphere/mood- How we feel watching the scene.
Warm- makes feel comfortable, safe, welcoming.
Cold- feels sterile, clean, futuristic, technological.
Bright - feels more lively, energized, vibrant.
Dull - Feels calm, quiet, boring, old.
Natural - Sources are sun/ moon feels like real life.
Artificial - Man made sources, feels unnatural.
Palette- the colours used in that shot a.g nature palette will have colours found in nature like brown/ greens.
The scene where Auggie cries to his mum about looking different.
- The dont even talk to me.
- my face is ugly.
- it is always going to matter.
- Auggies mum goes into his rooom to check on him, he tells her others make fun of him and she reassures him.
- Theme - Importance of friends and family.
- Shots/angles - close ups used to show Auggies emotions.
- over the shoulder when mum speaks to show conversation from Auggies point of view.
Lighting/colour - Warm dark colours - this is a safe and comfortable place for Auggie to cry.
-Dull colours - sad, lonely, sympathetic, calm, quiet.
- Natural light - is nighttime
Effect on the viewer - sympathitic, sad, sorry, lonely, depressed, miserable, downhearted, forlorn.
Directors Purpose - emphasizes the sadness of the moment and the importance of Auggies relationship with his family.
In the scene where Auggie cries to his mother about being bullied, colour and lighting is used to create an atmosphere of sympathy. We see this through the use of warm and dull colours in the shot. These makes the space feel safe and comfortable for Auggie to express his emotions. This makes us understand how he is feeling, miserble, oppressed, and depressed because he looks different from his pears. He asks his mum, " Will it always matter" which is a feeling most in the audience can relate too. This was done to show the theme, the importance of friends and family, because Auggie learns resilience by talking issues through with his mum. Combined with this is the use of close up shots to show the emotions and tears on Auggies face. This reminds the viewer of the moment later in the story where Auggie is upset because his sister Via doesn't want him to go to her play. Just like this scene, Auggie runs to his rooom upset and a momber of his family comes to reassure him.
