Sexxxy Paragraphs
In the film Wonder,Low angel shots were used effectively.  This is demonstrated in the scene were Jack attacks Julian because he called Auggie a freak.  In this scene a low angle dutch tilt shot is used to make Jack look stronger and to make Julian look weak and Vulnerable. This makes the audience feel shocked,surprised and concerned because we didn't expect Jacks reaction who has not shown any aggressiveness at this point.  The purpose of this is to show the theme of kindness as Jack finally stands up for Auggie.  Combined with this is the use of quiet,minor music and slow motion to create an atmospheres and the event feel more intense.  This can be contrasted to the nature reserve fight scene where Auggie now shows kindness by standing up for Jack.


-Fight scene- Nature Reserve- Auggie makes friends, High 5 no plague,Jack Amos and the others.  They beat up and ran away from 7th graders.

-Wide angle, Long shot-Makes us feel like we are a bystander watching a important moment, the emotions are the characters,not ours.

-Audience-Joyful,Proud,cheerful,ecstatic,Relived-Auggie finally id included,has friends.

-Directer- Shows Auggie is finally fitting in, shows theme importance of friendship of kindness.

-Other Techniques Lighting- use of shadow silhouette out lining the boys,feels like they are all in it together.
