What makes a good leader?

 In this blog post I will share my thoughts on what makes a good leader. 

Here are some qualities/traits that I think a good leader has. 

• Communication Skills
• Determination
• Empathy 
• Respect
• Honesty 
• Thinks outside the box
• Passion 
• Integrity 
• Mindful and aware 

Those are only a few but some good leaders that i think show these traits are 

• Barack Obama 
• Jacinda Adern
• HHS Prefects 
• Albert Einstein 
• Muhammad Ali 
• Nelson Mandela 
• Abraham Lincoln 

I think a good leader has to have respect and empathy for the people they are leading, they also should show integrity which is doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Being good at communicating is important because it's good to be able to listen to people and be able to answer questions. 

SEXXXY Paragraph - Film Studies

 

In Coraline camera angles are used effectively. For example a medium close up is used when we see the other mother introduced for the first time. This makes us feel confused as she has buttons on her eyes. The director chose to do this shot so we can vividly see the other mother. This was combined with the lighting to give us a sense of feeling welcomed or at home. This can be compared with the meeting of the real mother because the same angle is used but the colouring was less warm and unfriendly.
