Workshop 4 - How is colour used to enhance the story?

30/07/19, Tuesday

1.  District 12
Green, dull, dark, browns, grey, white, black. Nature/Natural palette.
Feel- wild, country, natural, free-poor-can't afford nice buildings.


2. Capitol
White, greys, silver, metals.
Building/environment- metallic, industrial, technological.
Bright colourful- people.
Feel- futuristic, wealthy, greedy, rich, technology advanced.


3. Control Room
White, blues, clean.
Technology advanced
People wearing white clothes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Colour is used effectively to show the theme of rich vs poor. This is demonstrated in the two scenes- District 12 at the start of the film and The Capitol is Katniss and Peeta arrive on the train. In District 12 a natural, dull and dark palette of greens and browns is used to create a wild atmosphere. In the Capitol, a metallic, industrial colour palette of whites, silvers and greys is used to create a feeling of an advanced society. The purpose of this is to show teh rich vs poor in the two societies The Capitol has more bright colours whereas District 12 has dull colours to show their run-down buildings and overworn clothing. Combined with the use of costumes we're able to see the divide between the wealthy in The Capitol and the poor of District 12. This reminds the audience of the Riot scene later in the film when the poor citizens of District 11 rebel against the rule of the Capitol.

Image result for dry cell batteryImage result for wet cell battery
What is the difference between "wet cell batteries" and dry cell batteries?
  The main difference between the wet cell batteries and dry cell batteries is the wet cell batteries uses a liquid electrolyte and dry cell battery uses paste electrolyte.

Where do we commonly find examples of each?
   Wet cell batteries are commonly found in aviation and electric utilities. We commonly use dry cell batteries in portable mobile devices such as laptops and toys.

Why are some batteries able to be recharged and others not?
If a battery is rechargeable or not depends on the materials used. Some batteries use cheap materials that can corrode easily. Some batteries use alkaline which is not as effective and has risks when you try to recharge it. Lithium-ion is more effective because they are more reactive than alkaline.
