Sexxxxxxxxxy Paragraphs:
In the film Wonder,  Low angle shots where used effectively. This is demonstrated in the scene where Jack attacks Julien because he called Auggie a a freak. In this scene a low angle dutch tilt shot is used to make Jack look stronger and make Julien look weak and vulnerable. This makes the audience feel shocked, surprised and concerned because we didn't expect a violent reaction for Jack who has not shown aggressive up until this point. The purpose of this was to show the theme of kindness as Jacks finally stands up for Auggie. combined with this is the use of soft, quiet & minor music and the use of slow motion to create atmosphere and the event feel more intense. This can be contrasted to the nature reserve  fight scene where Auggie now shows kindness by stand ups for Jack.

B, shot 2 - Fight scene - nature reserve - Auggie makes friends, high 5 - no plague, Jack, Amos & others. They beat up & ran away from 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, has friends.

Director -  shows that Auggie is finally fitting in, shows theme or importance of friend ship or 'kindness'

Other techniques - Lighting - use of shadow - Silhouette,  the boys feel like they are all in it together .
