The FILM

The title of our film is " Under the Same Curse" and I think we all did a great job.
I am watching it now again on the mobile phone and it brings good memories. We laughed a lot while we were making it. Not all of the time though. Sometimes it was too hard to get it all done in time.
     First, our group was Carme, Catalina, Aina, Marie, Biel and Miquel and me . We had to write our script first and check it all. This was quite hard. Then we had to decide who was who. That was easy but Marie had to be play a male part because we didn't have enough boys. She did it really well. I was the leading role of Stanley because I like speaking English a lot.
The next part was the filming.  I think it was good fun but hard work at the same time. We all live in different places, Colonia, Artà ,Sant Llorenç so meeting up was a bit complicated. My group was a good team I think and everyone was nice if somebody couldn't turn up for some reason. We worked well together on all the filming of the scenes. I must admit it took a long time. We didn't manage to finish all the scenes at Carme's house so had to go back another day. We had to film again at Aina's finca too. I was getting tired of it all and glad when we finished.  I think it took us so long because we wanted to make it look really good. We took a lot of time with costumes, make-up and hair gel even.
It was very authentic.
For me the best part were the funny parts. I had to try so hard not to laugh at some points like when I I had to say " I smell like a pig". We had to do lots of re-takes.Carme and me laughed so much in the final scenes when she has the baby doll in her arms. We showed some funny re-takes at the end of our movie.
The animation part was very hard to fit in but a good idea to tell the story more quickly. I think it made the film look quite funny and different. I think it would be better to let the students choose which scene they want to animate as everybody with a pig animation is a little bit boring.
Another hard part was the editing, mainly because of time. I preferred to have a bigger role in the acting as I haven't got a good camera or phone and am not so good at this so all the technical parts were mainly done by Cate and Carme.
In general, it was a good experience and we all participated in the things we liked or were better at.
I am proud of the results. I think we made a great film and the best thing is we had fun too even if it was hard work.
Also, it is good to change and do things like mini-movies and plays. You can learn lots of things and working together helps you solve the problems.

METALS

METALS POST: The definition of metal is any of the elements with a positive electrical charge, typically with a shiny surface and a good conductor of heat. An example of metal is gold.   Types of metal -There are 2 types of metal : ferrous and non-ferrous Ferrous metals contain iron. Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron. A pure metal only consists of a single element. This means that it only has one type of atom in it. The common pure metals are:-aluminium, copper, iron, lead, zinc, tin, silver and gold. Ferrous metals are steel, cast iron and carbon steel. Ferrous metals are not malleable,( they do not bend as easily). Some ferrous metals are very strong, long-lasting, and magnetic. These characteristics are beneficial for building or for use in certain industries. Here is a steel skeleton structure used for building houses and flats.( source: www.pixabay.com)   N on ferrous metals are not attracted to a magnet and they also do not rust in the same way when exp

What is Technology?

Technology is the use of knowledge to invent new devices and tools. It is TECHNIQUE + SCIENCE.  The aim of technology is to solve problems by making objects. The technological process is all the steps that have to be followed to solve a problem. There are seven steps. 1. Identify the need or problem 2. Analysis of the problem 3. Research 4. Generate ideas and make a project brief 5. Planning and Budget 6. Manufacturing or Construction 7. Test and Evaluate Examples of technology in my daily life- The images are from pixabay.com 1 Microwave oven- I need to heat the milk and other food for my breakfast or dinner. This oven is made of metal and uses electricity and radio-active waves to heat food nd drink very quickly. It is less dangerous than gas cookers.  2. Radiator- In winter it gets cold inside my house and we need to switch on the radiator. It is made of metal and filled with oil. When you switch it on the oil heats up inside and it radiates heat.

About me

My name is Joel Marín Fairweather and I am 14 years old. This is my blog for High School. I am going to write a little bit about myself for my technology teacher. We have to use new technology to communicate and a blog is a good idea, I think. I am going to start with my family. I have two sisters, Cloe and Ellen, both older than me. My dad is David and he lives in Palma.. My mam is Julie and she is a teacher in Artà. Artà is a small town in Mallorca, it is my home town. I like it a lot but also like Newcastle, where my mam is from and where all my English family lives. We always go there on holiday and I love it especially at Christmas. Another important member of the family is my dog Stitch! He is small but lively and I love to run around the house with him. My favourite sport is football and I play for our local club. We train hard, three times a week and have matches at the weekend. I would really love to be a footballer when I grow up. I know this is like a dream but if I can&
