Wonder Plot Graph

Self directed learning

This is my self directed learning for this week:

1. I could try and not show that I'm bored doing my work

2. Do my work that I need to do the best I can do it

3. Try and have fun with what I am doing

Workshop 2: The Impact of Angles, Movement and Shots

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.

Examples of Family - English

The biggest example of family is they are always there whenever you need, and if you guys to argue all the time they love you even when their annoyed. That is literally the definition of my siblings and cousins but I do love them even though they are the most annoying people in the world sometimes.

Auggie's sister Via I think feels the same because her brother Auggie needed a lot of support when he was younger and his parents still are scared something might happen. But she loves her brother with all her heart.

Also I think that Auggie's parents wanted to keep him home schooled for longer but since he was going to be one of the youngest in this new school and he's getting harder to home school. So out of love they sent Auggie to a school for the first time ever.
