‘Away, and mock the time with fairest show, false face must hide what the false hearth doth know.’
Deceive the people with Duncan’s death and act as though it was not us. We need to hide our faces with fake ones so they don’t realise it was us.

‘Besides, this Duncan hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been so clear in his great office, that his virtues will plea like Angels’ Quote that praises Duncan.
Means Duncan was a good King that the Angels will sing for him in heaven.
‘Commends th’ingredients of our poisoned chalice’ Quote that shows Macbeth committing a bad deed.
OUR is the keyword it shows it belongs to Macbeth and possibly Lady Macbeth. Poisoned is a bad thing and chalice is referring to his deed or sin. So poisoned chalice mean bad deed or bad sin.
Stars Hide your Fires
To inherit my fathers fortune I need to be the eldest, yet my brother stands ahead of me. The money should belong to me, I deserve it, but he’s in the way. I need to cut him out so I can obtain my money. God please forgive me, mum look away, do not witness my pure sins.
Tis Strange
This is weird, usually it gives us harm, the witches are telling us the truth with small things to gain trust and then they lie to us about something that has great consequences.
Science- Lichens
Aahnaf Newaz and Hasan Ali
Lichens can be used as environmental indicators as they can only grow in places with clean air. They can’t grow in a place where the air is polluted with sulfur dioxide, therefore they can show us which areas are more polluted than others. Some types of lichens (Leafy and Crusty) can grow in places where there is pollution, however it has to be at a low amount. Bushy lichens are the only types of lichens that need really clean air. Lichens are unlikely to grow in places near roads as they are used by a lot of cars that release sulfur dioxide. The near roads the level of sulfur dioxide will high and so the air will be polluted. Yellow colored lichens are extremely unlikely to grow in places near roads as they need clean air to grow. Green and red lichens can grow in places near roads as long as the level of sulfur dioxide is low.
Fossil fuels are one major reason to why SO2 and CO2 is released in to the atmosphere. The way we can remove SO2 and CO2 from the atmosphere is by using several different methods such as solar panels to reduce the amount of fossils fuels being burnt for power. We can also use wind turbines which will generate electricity which means we would not need to use any fossil fuels which would reduce the SO2 in the air. The reason why would know it will be working is because Lichens would grow and when they do the color of their organism will be either green or yellow, yellow meaning the air is clean and if it is green then the air is slightly polluted. So by building these things in the countryside or on buildings(solar panels) you can reduce the amount of CO2 and SO2 in the air keeping it less polluted.
Macbeth- Sergeant Speech Translation
Doubtful it stood;
As two spent swimmers, that do cling together
And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald–
Worthy to be a rebel, for to that
The multiplying villanies of nature
Do swarm upon him–from the western isles
Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied;
And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling,
Show’d like a rebel’s whore: but all’s too weak:
For brave Macbeth–well he deserves that name–
Disdaining fortune, with his brandish’d steel,
Which smoked with bloody execution,
Like valour’s minion carved out his passage
Till he faced the slave;
Which ne’er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him,
Till he unseam’d him from the nave to the chaps,
And fix’d his head upon our battlements.
You couldn’t tell who was going to win
It was like two tired swimmers, grabbing each other
Struggling to drown each other. The evil rebel Macdonwald
Protected by increasing amount of villains supporting him.
Even soldiers from the Western Isles helped him.
Luck was like a prostitute for him, however they were still to weak.
As the courage of Macbeth got rid of that luck
And chopped himself a route to Macdonwald.
Macbeth never shook his hand or said goodbye but
Cut him from the his naval to his jaw with his sword and
Placed his head on our battlements.
Science- Natural Selection
Natural Selection is the process that allows evolution to happen. Natural Selection was discovered by Charles Darwin on his 5 year voyage across the world. The main points are that each organism of a species have a range of variation because of each of their genes. The single organisms with the best characteristics suited to its environment will tend to live on (survival of the fittest). They will either inherit those good genes or have mutations, where the DNA sequence is altered. The ‘fittest’ organiss will then reproduce offsprings, which will have a high chance of inheriting those good genes or it may even have mutations of its own.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck also had a theory on evolution but was disregarded and is wrong. He thought that a characteristic used repeatedly all the time would get stronger and better. Any characteristic that isn’t used often will be forgotten. Then the gene that is used a lot and has developed will be inherited by the next generation. Lamarck’s views are seen as wrong and Darwin’s view is correct and is accepted by the world of science.

HOW DOES THE DIRECTOR OF HOTEL RWANDA USE CINEMATOGRAPHIC l TECHNIQUES TO DEVELOP TENSION IN PAUL ‘EPIPHANY’ SCENE?
Directed by Terry George, Hotel Rwanda is a movie that depicts the true story of the civil war that occurred in Rwanda. It shows how the ruthless Hutu’s, one of the two groups created by the Belgians to segregate the black citizens based on what they look like, hunt down the innocent Tutsi’s, the other of the two groups. This film reveals the horror of this war to the audience and sparks up the question of how innocent are people everywhere. Terry George uses many techniques within his movie, which all then contribute by adding even more sparks into his audience. In one particular way, George adds tension in his scenes. Building up tension effects the audience throughout every scene. It can intrigue the audiences, make them feel all kinds of emotions and can then make the audience ponder about certain shots and scenes. Grabbing the attention of the audience is very beneficial for George. It means that he can spread those sparks and make people realise the effect of war. George uses many cinematographic techniques in the movie to develop tension and give off an eerie atmosphere throughout the movie. In one scene in particular Terry George offloads many techniques and that is Paul’s ‘epiphany’ scene.
Paul and Gregoire are driving back from George’s warehouse, on a road that was suggested by George, as he said it was clear. As they are driving the car starts to shake violently and it appeared that they were driving over things. Frantically, they stop the car and Paul steps out only to trip and fall. To his horror, Paul falls onto a dead woman. In a panic, he jumps up and was terror stricken when his eyes glared upon the path before him. It was filled with dead bodies. It then came to the realisation that when George meant the road was clear, it was clear of Tutsi. Paul suddenly then realised the expanse of the situation they were in.
One way Terry George develops tension in the scene is by adding sound effects and background music. This can also build up the emotions in Paul’s epiphany scene and could even tell a story without changing the scene or camera shot. On the shot when the camera zoomed in on the dead woman, you could hear the sound of a machete slash. That communicates to the audience that all these dead people were all slaughtered by machetes. This makes us feel fear and remain in disbelief over this current shocking situation. Also within the background of the scene there is music that constantly builds up. The effect of that built up the suspense and created an eerie atmosphere. Just like in horror films music is used to create tension and prepares the audience for a jump scare. The use of music in Paul’s epiphany scene was not to prepare the audience for a jump but to prepare them for the horror of witnessing all those dead people.
The director also uses many types of camera shots to develop tension and play with the emotions of the audience. It can also develop the audiences view on the scene. At one point the director used a point of view shot on Paul. This shot showed us the dead bodies lying around through Paul’s eyes. There is a lot of power from a point of view shot. By having a point of view it places us, the audience, in Paul’s position. It makes it seem as though we are there and are witnessing the aftermath of the massacre. This easily plays with the audiences emotions just by one trick from the director. It can petrify the audience, make them sick and really make them tearful. That shot makes the scene seem much more worse and gives the audience a better understanding on what was going on. The director also uses close ups on dead bodies, which definitely strikes shock into the audience. It demonstrates the reality of wars and can cause us all to feel sick in the stomach. The tension, without a doubt, was increased majorly.
Another feature Terry George uses, is special effects. The director uses fog during the beginning of the scene. When Paul and Gregoire are driving back there is fog and mist surrounding them. That disallows them and us to see through the window and what is in front of them. The fog can build the tension because alerts the audience that something is going to happen. The fog can also be interpreted as pathetic fallacy. It announces something bad is a about to happen. This mist gets thicker and thicker and in the end makes the characters drive onto the dead bodies. Once Paul sees the dead woman the fog clears completely. The fog builds up the tension, as not just the characters, but the audience cannot see what is going to happen and can make the audience nervous, especially when the car starts to shake.
Terry George also uses focus in this scene to enlarge the tension. In some shots the director blurs out the background and focuses on Paul’s face. That forces us to examine the emotions that are on Paul’s face. That can then make us feel the same emotions as Paul, or maybe feel worse. George also focuses on the background at some points and blurs the foreground, so he would blur Paul and focus on the dead people in the background. This could make the audience feel even more worse as it gives them nothing else to look at besides these dead people. It has this effect that tells the audience you have to focus on this and cannot turn away. This will build the tension. By using all these techniques Terry George can accomplish building tension and can then make his work more effective. He can capture the minds of his audience and will fulfill his purpose of the film.
