Shot: Jack and Julien are fighting because Jack has chosen to stand up to Julien after he called Auggie a freak.
Shot angles: Dutch tilt, something is wrong
Low angle makes Jack on top more powerful than Julien, part of action
Viewers reaction: It was unexoected even though Jack hates people making fun of Auggie, Julien was probably surprised that Jack did it. Julien probably felt scared when Jack did that to him.
Why did the director so this: Close up used to make us feel part of the fight, also so we can see the characters faces, use techniques to build our concern/shock.
Other technique: Slow motion to show us the details in the fight, Music is minor, slow tempo, dynamic increases from quiet to help us focus and create atmosphere.
In the fight scene between Julien and Jack, camera angles are used effectively to draw th viewer into the scene. This is demonstrated through the use of low angles, close ups and dutch tilt shots. The low angle shot makes Jack look stronger and more aggressive, whilst it makes Julien looks weak and vulnerable below him. This makes the audience feel concerned, shocked and surprised because up till this point Jack has always agreed with Julien. The director did this to draw the view into the event and highlight Jacks struggle to choose between being right or being popular. Combined with this is the use of slow motion and music which help us to see details on the characters faces and reconcile their emotional reactions. This aspect can be compared to the use of close up shots at the start of the film when we just meet August. They are used to show us a small part of a bigger moment.
