SEXXXY Paragraph - In the film Wonder, low angle shots were used effectively. This is demonstrated in the scene where 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 Julian weak and vulnerable. This makes the audience feel shocked, surprised and concerned because we didn't expect a violent reaction from Jack who has not been aggressive before this point. 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 chose kindness by standing up for Jack.



Photo 2 - Fight Scene - Nature Reserve - Auggie makes friends, high 5 and no plague, Jack, Amos & others. They beat up & ran away from the 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, Relived - Auggie finally is included, has friends.

Director - Shows Auggie is finally fitting in, shows theme  importance of friendship or kindness.
Other Techniques -  Lighting - Use of shadow - silhouette outlining the boys, feels like they are all in it together.
