The past weeks we have been watching a movie called Wonder, we have been watching this movie to study a little about what types of camera angles there are, and how they are being used...
Dad/note - "It's like leading a lamb to the slaughter"
Summer/note - "When being given a chance between being right and being kind, choose kind"
Halloween Scene: 42.56...
Body languages - change, now has head held high, walking with confident strides, Interacting with others...
Music - Happy upbeat - Monster Mash, Fast tempo, lots of energy,
When he hears Jack Will saying "if I looked like him I think I'd kill myself" Music tempo gets slow, quiet dynamics to make us focus, use of diegetic sound kits...
Symbols - Halloween mask-Physical, Barriers between others & Auggie,
-Star Wars characters Darth Sideous used by Julian to make fun of Auggie...
Jack Will & Julian fight scene: 1.06 - 1.08
- Starts at eye level - Mid/Medium shot, Makes us apart of the convo...
Significant - We see Auggie lose faith in the idea of friendship - If Jack Will can be that mean behind his back, how can he trust others...
Links to the Theme - Popularity & acceptance...
We see this through Jack Will as he says what he knows Julian wants to hear so he doesn't become the target get picked on...
- Sounds are diegetic...
- Low angle hot as boys hit the ground, makes the fight seem dangerous, moves up for the close up of the struggle...
- Dutch tilt & low angle makes Jack Will look more aggressive...
- Music Minor-(Sad), quiet dynamic-creates focus for intense, shot tempo...
- Shot in slow-mo so we see the event more clearly...
The Nature Reserve Fight Scene: 1.29 - 1.32
During the fight, shot used to make Auggie and other friends look bigger-more powerful & the bullies weak & vulnerable...
- music has fast tempo to build intensity...
- Significant - Auggie has grown as a character, he is now willing to stand up for himself...
- Friendship - Auggie now finally feels accepted when the other boys-doesn't have to hide behind a mask anymore
