Sexxxy Paragraphs: Shot A
In the film Wonder, low angle shots were used effectively. This is demonstrated in the scene where Jack attacks Julien because he called Auggie a freak. In this scene a low angle dutch tilt shot is used to make Jack look stronger and Julien weak and vulnerable. This makes the audience feel shocked, surprised and concerned, because we didn't expect a violent reaction from Jack, who has been a kind person up to this point where he can't stand anymore from Julien. The purpose of this was 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 atmosphere 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.
Sexxxy Paragraphs: Shot B
BRAINSTORM:
Fight scene - Nature Reserve - Auggie makes friends, high 5 is important because normally nobody would want to come in contact with Auggie or touch Auggie or else they will get the plague, Jack, Amos & others were there, they beat up and ran away from 7th graders.
Wide Angle long shot - makes us feel like we are a bystander watching an important moment, the emotions are the characters, not ours.
Audience - Joyful, proud, cheerful, ecstatic, relieved - Auggie finally is included, has friends.
Director - Shows Auggie is finally fitting in, shows theme importance of friendship 'or kindness'.
Other Techniques: lightning - use of shadow - outlining the boys, feels like they are all together.
