How are adults constructed in this text?

Adults in this film Black Mirror, Nosedive, are constructed to show what social media is, and how people use them. Adults are used a lot in this film, to show the strong side of social media no children are used in this film because children don't really know the meaning of social media and how to use them properly.

What kind of social reality does this text portray?

People rate each other before or while having a conversation, they use manners and show maturity to get a good rate from 1 to 5. This doesn't exist in our world today to show each others personality, but we do rate things that we use and buy to let the owners know how we feel about the products. 

How does this text construct a version of reality?

 This can be really interesting if everyone had the rights to rate each other, because right now it doesn't exist in our world today.

Essay Brainstorming

Cat make better pets than dogs

"Disagree"

I believe dogs are better than cats because they are more physical than cats and more fun because they are interested in a lot of outside games. 

You can take dogs out to the beach or the park to play with, you can think of anything to make dogs play, like find sticks on the ground and play fetch. 

Cats basically just sit inside buildings, wanting treats, and good to make them like you. They don't listen to you unless you have something that they want. Cats saliva bath and dogs don't, giving dogs a bath can clean them very well and having them to smell good.

Dogs can come in different sizes and you could get whatever suites your family. Cats look the same but some with different colours.

In the film 'The Hunger Games' directed by Gary Ross, Katniss evolves from an innocent girl from District 12 into a symbol of rebellion for the people of Panam.

The Hunger Games Workshop 4

How is colour used to enhance the story?
This scene shows Katniss running, she is one of the selected tributes from District 12 in The Hunger Games. District 12 is one poor District compared to the others which have more rich, luxury items. The colours that are used for this scene are Grey, Bad looking white and dark green which show Sad emotions. The director Gary Ross has used these colours to show what it looks like when all districts are split, and to make them feel like they have a less chance of winning The Hunger Games.


This was one setting in the movie which has all the people that control what is happening in the Arena. This looks way different from what has been shown in District 12, This has bright colours, Blue and White which really shows Happiness and a more clean type of look. Gary Ross has used these colours to show the audience how rich Snow the Capitol is and how important he is to everyone.


The colours are used a lot in this scene, there are bright colourful colours used, these people are used mostly for sponsors that all the tributes may need. The colours show how rich they look right now. Gary Ross used this for the comparison against Districts 12, and it also shows how happy everyone is looking right now.


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 as 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 the rich vs poor in the two societies. The Capitol has more bright colours and advanced buildings and technologies, whereas District 12 has dull colours to show their run down buildings and over worn 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.
