Learning about Nutrition

In defense of food:
I learned that in rice, corn, and white contains fructose which leads to heart diseases and diabetes.
I also learned that too much sugar will overexert the insulin in your body leading to diabetes.

This video left me wondering what foods actually have sugar. And, what are my body's sugar limits?

Why move to improve

12/11/2018
Why did I choose move to improve and what do I want to achieve through this project:
I was originally put in Community sports but after two periods of it, I got bored. So I switched over to Move to improve because it sounded much more interesting than what I was doing in Community sports. Though this project I would like to get fitter and find out more about what exercises are good for certain skills such as running or jumping.

What are some activities that you would like to do and/or things you would like to learn as part of your passion project?
In this project, I would like to find the most effective and safe ways of getting stronger and faster.

My results from the fitness tests from today:
Because I joined this project halfway through period five. I only got to do two tests. They were the 30m sprint into the 60m sprint. For this, I got 4.65 seconds for my 30m and 7.98 for my 60m.

SEXXXY parahraphs for Dragonheart



In Dragonheart medium shots are used effectively. We see this when the corrupt king Einon has Bowen on the ground with his sword pointed at Bowen's throat after he defeats his old mentor in a duel. The director added this to show that Einon is no longer the weak boy he was in the first scene of the film. In an earlier scene, we saw Bowen teaching the young Einon to fight with a sword. Every time Einon struck at Bowen, Bowen would deflect his sword and put Einon on the ground with a sword pointed at his throat. But now, the scene has completely reversed and Einon now has his sword pointed at Bowen's throat. This previous scene makes us understand that the tables have completely turned and even Bowen with his masterful skills is now no match for the cruel king.




In Dragonheart, wide shots are used effectively. An example of this is when the director used a
wide shot during the end of the film when Draco the dragon ascends to the dragon heaven after
the rebels successfully took the castle and earned their freedom. The director used this to not
only show the dragons death but to also show the crowd of rebels, telling us that they have won
against the cruel king and earned their freedom. Combined with the shot, Draco ascending to dragon
heaven finally completes the main theme of the film. Which was for Draco to earn his right back to
dragon heaven after his heart got corrupted by Einon’s evil. This further intensifies the scene.
Making the scene even more compelling and makes us feel grief for the dragon’s death. But also,
eases us knowing that Draco is now where he had always wanted to be, dragon heaven.


In Dragonheart, low angle shots are used effectively. We see this during an epic showdown between Bowen and Draco that is currently halted by a stalemate between the two. This stalemate between the two lets them calmly esses the situation, ultimately resulting in a truce. After the scene where Draco gave half his heart to Einon to save his life. Einon’s evil corrupted the dragon’s heart. This broke Draco’s trust of humanity. Meanwhile, after Einon received the heart he went straight to his father’s ways. Bowen saw this and suspected that the dragon’s heart had corrupted Einon when it was the other way around. This suspicion gave Bowen a hatred for dragons which led to him becoming a dragonslayer. Over time this new companionship revives the trust between the two. The director did this to build a relationship between Draco and Bowen so they can in time overthrow the kingdom together.


In Dragon heart, over the shoulder shots were used adequately. We see this when Draco asks Bowen to end his life and it is the only way to stop Einon and his evil. After Bowen comes to terms with Draco and prepares for the anguish of losing a dear friend, Einon desperately appears to stop Bowen from killing Draco. This leads to the final duel we see here between the evil king Einon and his old mentor Bowen. In this scene, we see Einon fight desperately This scene helps us understand the disparity Einon is going through because if Einon is victorious he will gain immortality. Coinciding with this was dramatic music, further intensifying the scene. The director did this to show us just how important of a scene this is.
