Auggies dad-Nate, It's like leading a lamb to the slaughter.

Opening scene:0.36-1.46

Camera shots/angles=Eye level,close up to make us think Auggie is in space , we later zoom out to see we are in his bedroom.

Special effects=Slow motion of Auggie jumping to make it more realistic as in space because there is no gravity so people move slower.

Music/sound=Diagetic= ground control talking over radio, give us the idea he is in space.Major key is a happy sound, minor is more of a sad sound. the music starts to speed up when Auggie starts to talk and zoom out of the space.

Symbols=Auggies Astronauts helmet represents that he's afraid to show his face,Auggie puts people between himself and others even when its all people who don't really see him.

Next scene,Science classroom scence. 7.30-9.28

Camera shots/angles=open with a high angle wide shot, makes the room look big and scary to the students to look weak and vulnerable.

Body Language=Auggie walks with shoulders hunched, slouched posture and head down to make him look smaller and weaker. Trying not to be notice.

Star wars Symbols says something about Darth Sideous and Auggies Star wars Padawan braid.

Auggies first class-14.31

Camera/shot- Over the shoulder eye level, Julian and Auggie - Cuts between close-ups of Auggie to show emotion and shots of Julian and the rest of the class makes it feel like Auggie is alone.

-Summer ' when given the choice between being right and being kind choose kind.

Chewbacca scene 32.40

Shows us why people stare how they wishes they'd deal with it.

Everyone in the star wars universe looks strange, like deformed but since everybody doesn't care because everybody look weird so he would fit in.

-Auggie "sorry if my starring made you uncomfortable".

Fight scene n1 1.06-1:07.40

Camera/angles over the shoulder shot as Jack punches Julian make us feel part of the fight.
- Low angle during the fight makes the person on top look strong.
-Dutch tilt- lockers are on an angle used to show something isn't right.

Special effects-Slow motion- makes it easier to understand and know what they are feeling when looking at their faces.



Music/Sound-Tempo-slow, sad,dynamics-quiet and intense.
-Music comes in when the voice over start .



Fight n2 1.29.40-1.32.35


Camera Angles/Shots-Bully looks weak because the camera angle looks like it's trying say that the group of boys are much stronger than but while he is on the ground it looks like hes vulnerable.

Music-Used to build tension or suspense
-tempo-very quiet at the start then starts to get higher while they were running away so we would stay hooked and feel anxious and worried.


Special effects-



Themes- we see the importance of family and friends/kindness.



Conclusion/the ending. 

Camera shots- Tilt shot up as Auggie bows, we are shown a similar scene to the opening only this time we are looking at real space while Auggie is jumping up and down.

-Finishing a repeat of what happened at the start as a astronaut jumping in the air to show thats he's happy.

Music- the music is loud to give the feeling that something happy or good is happening.


Where as the start where Auggie had to imagine himself to b happy now he doesn't have to because of all the things that he has done like make new friends, standing up for himself and not worrying about what people think about him.
