The paragraph:
In the scene when Auggie cries to his mother about being bullied, colour and lighting is 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 ask his mum, " does it always matter" which is a feeling most in the audeince can relate too.This was done to show the theme, the importance of friendship and family, because Auggie learns resilience by talking issues through with his mum. Combined with this is use of close up shots to show me emotions and tears on Auggies face.This reminds 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 reassure him.
