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 not been aggressive before 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 & slow-motion to create an atmosphere and to make 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...
