Module One Post Eight (Connections: Film: Shots, Cuts, And Editing)

This link is a good resource because it goes through the different types of shots, cuts, and editing methods and what they are exactly. It also talks about the sound and music in films and how they attract the audience as well.

Module One Post Six (The Editing Successful Hollywood Movies Follows A Mathematical Formula)

This website shows how they use different lines and angles to achieve the best look in a movie for the audiences. It includes a diagram with coded parts to show what lines are for what purposes and a visual for 3 different movies.

Module One Post Ten (vanishing points)

Perspective drawings all have vanishing points. The more you have the more difficult the drawing gets. The term orthogonal lines are a mathematical term. in this case they are the lines that get farther away from us, and later meet. Now lets talk about the number of vanishing points. If you only have one, lines (orthogonal) will go to one point on the page. However, if you have more than one, that means there will be lines going everywhere. since the lines would go in all directions, it would be harder to draw.

Here is an example of three point perspective.

Module One Post Ten [Nanotechnology in Clothes]

Nanotechnology in Clothes

Image result for nanotech and clothes

This is a very good website called The Guardian. It explains that over 1600 products have nanoparticles. One type of nanotechnology is Microbe-killing silver which kills bacteria and odours. There are potential risks of nanotechnology like if when the customer sweats the nanotech might go on their skin. Through research, it is proven that people care more about the pros of nanotech than the cons.

Module One Post Nine [Nanotechnology and Food]

Nanotechnology and Food

Image result for nanotech and food

This website names the benefits of nanotechnology in food. They explain it in 4 major categories: Agriculture, Food Processing, Food Packaging, and Supplements. In the category of agriculture, the website said that nanotech would help with delivery of products and nanocapsules can be used as pesticides and fertilizers. Under the category of food processing, it explains that nanocapsules can be used to add flavour more easily. Under the category of food packaging, they explained that with nanoparticles they could make packaging stronger and they could also use nanosensors to check the temperature and moisture inside a package. In the last category of supplements, they explained that nanocochleates can be used to deliver more nutrients and good things and the taste will not be changed.

Module One Post Nine (shapes in drawing)

This time the site goes deeper into the geometrical shapes in drawings. If you think of a castle, you can see the shapes.

This drawing was on the website, and here you can see the pyramids, cylinders, cones and prisms. To master the architectural part of drawing, its easy to just remember how to draw these geometrical shapes. This is because usually you can just combine the 3-D shapes to make a building like how this castle was built.

Module One Post Eight [Nanocars!?!?!]

Nanocars!?!?!

The goal of this design is to be simple so no molecule will fall off

The structure of the windmill allows steering in all 4 directions

This car flaps like a butterfly

One of the only cars that have wheels, axels and a chassis

Wheels easily move on any surface

This website talks about a nanotechnology challenge/ competition. People have designed cars which are the size of a molecule. The competition takes place in France in an arena the size of 0.001 of a single human hair. This also serves an educational purpose which is how nanotech reacts to different surfaces. The cars will not have any motors and some designs do not have axels or wheels. The 6 designs are “The Green Buggy, “Swiss Nano Dragster, “Windmill”, “NIMS – Mana Car”, “Dipolar Racer” and “Ohio Bobcat Nano Wagon.” It will be a bit difficult to control the cars because they are so small and that is why it is a competition.

Module One Post Eight (math in drawings)

This website mostly talks about the mathematical aspects in perspective drawing. There are about three mathematical things to look for next time you see a drawing. They are the relationship between the lengths of the edges of the cubes, the angles between them and parallel and perpendicular lines.

multilink structure

Here is the picture the website provided us. As you take a close look at the picture, you can observe the angles and lengths of the cubes. Also the way the lines point and how the angles are, looking this way at the cubes.

Module 1 Post 10 (The Geometry of Dance)

https://educationcloset.com/2012/11/15/the-geometry-of-dance/

 

This site explained geometry in ballet. Without geometry the dance wouldn’t look as nice. Dancers form shapes with the bodies so they must understand geometry and what shape they have to form. This site also talks about symmetry and asymmetry and how it is important to a dancer.

 

This site was useful because it talked about geometry and symmetry and if I want to explore just those 2 topics I have a site I can go on. This site was very short but had good information. Now I know how important geometry in dance is, because without it my dancing won’t look as nice.
