Shot 1:
Jack and Julien are fighting because Jack has chosen to stand up to Julien after he called Auggie a freak.
Close-up part of the action
Shots/Angles-Dutch tilt-something is wrong
Low angle-makes person on top look strong-jack
and the person below look weak and vulnerable-Julien
Viewers reaction shocked, concerned, worried, surprised
Jack has never stood up for Auggie before
Jack usually agrees with Julien.
Directors purpose close up used to make us feel part of the fight, see the characters' emotions and reactions
Use techniques to build our concern/shock.
Other techniques- Slow motion-used to show us the details in the tight-too fast otherwise
Music-mirror, slow tempo, dynamics increase from quiet to help us focus and create an atmosphere.
S- in the fight scene between Julien and Jack, camera Angeles are used effectively to draw the viewer into the scene. (E) This is demonstrated through the use of low angles, close-ups and dutch tilts shots. The low angle shot makes Jack look stronger and more aggressive, whilst Julien looks weak and vulnerable below him.
(X) This makes the audience feel concern, shocked and surprised because up till this point Jack has always agreed with Julien. (X) The director did this to draw the viewer into the event and highlight Jacks struggle to choose between being right or being popular. (X) Combined with this is the use of slow-motion and music which help us to see details on the characters faces and recognise their emotional reactions. (Y) This can be compared to the use of close -up shots at the staff of the film when we first meet Auggie. They are both used to show us a small part of a bigger moment.
