WORK, REST AND SAY
Light- What is it? Scientifically speaking it is electromagnetic radiation, a beam of of photons travelling at approximately 300,000 km/sec with all sorts of wonderful characteristics which you will learn about in science.
Philosophically speaking, light has become a symbol for truth. Light helps us to see things clearly, it gets rid of darkness.When Jesus said 'I am the light of the world' what He was saying is that He is the one who can help you and everyone else see and understand the world and life correctly. Not only that but by following Him we can live in this world correctly
Practically speaking man uses light in a number of ways. He uses purpose made lights that help him perform his work more effectively or he simply works under light.
Man also uses light to help in his relaxation, leisure and rest times
Thirdly man uses light to communicate or say things.
Light- it's there when you work,rest and say.
How do you get from the Batman of the 1960's, pictured below, to today's Batman? There is a very important transition that took place in the late 1980's and 1990's and you might be surprised to know that it relies heavily on the use of light.

STUDENT ACTIVITY
On your weebly site under three separate headings of 'work', 'rest, and 'say' list all the ways that you noticed light being used in the movie 'Batman Returns'. For instance under the heading WORK you would put 'office lights', under the heading SAY you would put 'traffic lights' or 'Don't Walk' sign. See how many different uses of light you can list. I counted around forty. You might be able to find more.
Work:
Hospital lights (when doing operations/surgery) , Dentists lights (to see clearly in your mouth), Desk lights, office lights, torch's,
headlights for being able to see without need to hold the light with your hand.
Rest:
dimming lights (to make the room dark without being pitch black, also used at massage clinics) romantic candles (these lights can also bring a nice smell), night lights for people who are scared of the dark, fluorescent colored lights at parties, strobe lights at parties, Christmas lights.
Say
Traffic lights, do not cross lights, fire exit lights, speed limit lights, news updates on those orange/yellow trailer lights, turning lights (blinkers), brake lights, on/off lights, connected (Bluetooth) lights, Check engine light, ambulance or police lights.

Movie producers often use light to create certain moods or to convey certain secondary messages on more of a subconscious level. See if you can work out what message or mood they are trying to create with the following.
reflection off the silverware in Max's office -
They wanted to show how he was a very powerful man and could get you in deep trouble if you did the tiniest thing wrong
shadow in the sewer drain pipe -
the wanted to show a very dark/slummy mood
audience listening to Max's speech bathed in red light -
A happy feeling from the light off the Christmas tree
machine gun lights -
to make it a bit more realistic instead of just sounds
exhaust on Batmobile -
again to make it realistic because it wouldn't drive that fast with out some fumes or exhaust coming from the back
jugglers flames -
to show how crazy the penguins army/crew were
all the fire everywhere -
the flames where there to show how the Penguin had turned Gotham into a chaotic place.
moonlight over the abandoned zoo -
This was to give a dark, creepy mood to the scene
luminous green toxic waste that the Penguin pours out -
This was to show how crazy the Penguin actually was and how he knew all the bad things Max had done
