QUARANTINE

These days in quarantine I am trying to be positive and do all the things that I wanted to do before. At the beginning I was very sad because I don’t know how time it will take. I want to see my friends and my other family but I understand that the distance can unite us if we fight together from our home.

I am a very restless person so when I do anything, I get bored fast and I want to do another thing.My sceduless are inverted. I wake up very late and then I take a shower. I brush my teeth and I eat breakfast. In the afternon I do my homework  and when I finish I talk with my friends in a video call. This time helps me to forget the situation that we live.The night is my favourite moment of the day  because I see my favourite serie of Marvel. Before quarantine I didn’t like Marvel because it’s seems to be that is ridiculous but now I love it.

I think that the best way to forget the situation and live the present is accept that we don't get out home and make use of the time to know ourselves.

 I love when eight o’clock arrives and everyones go out to the window and we acknowledge and applaud for the job and the efforts that the sanitation do and also for the police and everyones who’s puts her life in danger to salve the world. Currently many people are recovering from the coronavirus and this news makes me so glad with the hope that everthing will be well.

IMAGES- ANGLES AND SHOTS   

High angle: This angle looks down on someone, it makes the person or object small and insignificant. This is used on TV dramas when they want to know someone has more power than someone else.



The picture shows the love that the characters feel.The woman wants to protect her husband. They represent the silence and the confidence.


Low angle: This angle looks up on something or someone making it look bigger than it really is. It is the opposite of a high angle. It is commonly used on TV shows when they want someone to look big powerful.




This picture shows the power that the character has. I think that he's doubting to fall but the wil to live is bigger than die.

A slanted angle shows an object or someone from an unnatural point of view. It can be used in a drama to show things only the audience can see.




This photo transmit to me the fear, darkness and lack of self-esteem becasue I feel that the character is scary to go out .

An eye level ange shows the object the picture looking directly at you,this shows that he or she has the same amount of power as you. However in some magazines it is used to show sexual tension when it is used with models.


This photo transmits the power and the truth that the little fox feel. He wants to comunicate that we have the same power.

Aerial shot: A view from above, it could be a place or scene for a movie. It shows everthing that is happening from a birds eye view. It shows the audience everthing that is happening at once. It's taken a from crane, plane or helicopter.



The photographer wants to show us the climate warming. The landscape is contamined and is origined a disgut.



Close up shots are used to imply intimacy between the characters or between the characters and the audience. It is used to reveal the character's thoughts and feelings. Close-ups get closer as more intimacy or the 'truth' about a character is revealed.

A medium shot is usually from a distance, it shows a whole setting. It could be used to show the target's body as well as their face. This type of shot it often used in magazines.




This photo shows us the power, ability and the confidence in herself. I think that is a perfect photo to represent that the women's can do everything.


A wide shot usually includes a lot of visual information for the audience to 'set the scene'. Usually shot with a wide angle lens.


This photo show us a  two men's separate for a road. They are looking at each other. I think that the picture transmits a message for the public, the message is "always forward, never stop". 

A two shot is mostly used in dramas where it shows friends side by side. However it can also be used to show relationships. The main purpose of this shot is for the audience to see what sort of relationship. the characters have between them.



There is a loving couple in this picture. I feel that the couple are scared and worried. But the love that they feel is much big that everthing.

The point of view shot( POV shot) shows the viewpoint of an actor.You can usually see the actors feet or hands in the picture so that you know straight away what sort of shot it is. The player see what the character sees.



This photo shows a girl pointing to the sea. She want to show us how long or short is the way.

TIK TOK

Tik Tok is an app that consists in do videos in all the topics. The short videos during 3-15 seconds and the long videos 30-60 seconds, it's so enjoyable and the people is happy doing them. The app was created in Chinese, the September of 2016 and it was introduced to the foreigin market one year later. This app is an platform  with much fame in all the countries, especially England, Spain, Japan... and others more.

In my opinion, Tik Tok is a fun way to linger. I am a admirer of this platform because without consciously I learn a lot, particularly english because I follow much english Tik Tokers. Actually all the videos in Tik Tok are dances with specific steps that everyones do. 
This are some words that I learn with this famous app: bizarre(raro), BTW( by the way), no longer ( ya no), At least ( Por lo menos), gossip ( cotilla). I also learn  cooking recipes. I know, it's seems odd but I do them. I want to talk about a teenage girl named Charlie D'Amelio. Charlie in this last year, she revolutionized Tik Tok, she began doing dances with her style and the people like him and follow her. Currently, she is fifteen years old and she has 41.2 millions of followers and 2 billions of likes, she's a star with her young age.

MY FAVOURITE PET

I love the dogs in all respect, I love him when I was a baby because my dad gave me a dog when I was in primary school. Until now is the best present that the people give me. I was so glad because the dog was so kindy and funny, it's a female of the pomerania race. Currently, I continue having the dog.


I think that  the dogs are the best company for the humans. They feel everthing when something it's happenng bad. My dog is my life, she's my friend, my sister, my cousin... everthing. As how she understand me, the dogs are part of the family . They enjoy all the moments in family. When we leave alone they feel abandonaded and not dears. Some people don't understand that the dogs have sentiments as any person, they understand everthing about the life of his owners. They are nice beings  that god give us. They have a big heart and they help anyone. In fact I think that some dogs understand better that the persons.

All of this began when Mendel,an australian and biological monk plant a pees. Mendel was a man that he loved the plants and investigate the body of humans. In the first time he combined one seed yellow with another  green. In the first generation he obtained all the seeds yellow, so he named the yellow seeds ruling. In the second time he combined two seeds yellow of the first generation and he obtained the majority of seeds yellow and a little portion green, so they decided to name the seeds green recessive ,also he made another experiment where he obtained sixteen seeds with yellow and green seeds. This was the beginning of the genetic. This experiments they made with the famous table of punnet.
