Co-Construct our SEXXXY paragraph
In the scene where Auggie cries to his mother about being bullied, colour and lighting are used to create an atmosphere of sympathy. We see this through the use of warm and dull colours in the shot.
These make the space feel safe and comfortable for Auggie to express his emotions. This makes us understand how Auggie is feeling, miserable, oppressed and depressed because he looks different from his peers. He asks his mum, 'will it always matters' which is a feeling most in the audience can relate too. This was done to show the theme, the importance of friendship and family, because Auggie learns resilience by talking issues through his mum. Combine with this is the use of close-up shots to shows the emotions and tears on Auggie face. The viewer of a moment later in the story where Auggie is upset because his sister Via doesn't want him to go to her play. Just like this scene, Auggie runs to his room upset and a member of his family comes to rescue him.
