Director -  wants to create a happy and safe atmosphere in Mr Brown's classroom. Even though it feels this way, Julien & Amos's behaviour is unkind...

In the scene of August's first day at school, lighting & colour are used to create a safe and welcoming classroom environment. For instance, bright-warm colours are used on the walls and natural light comes through the windows to make the space look lively. This makes the audience feel excited, inspired, and that the space is educational & supportive for learning. This was done to show Mr Brown had created a classroom space that would be welcoming to new students like Auggie. Coinciding with this is the use of body language. The children in the room are sitting up smiling and paying lots of attention; they are learning ready...
This reminds the viewer of the theme of Kindness because the lighting and colour make the room welcoming for all the students...
