Directors Purpose

→ Uses techniques to build our concern/shock.
→ Slow-motion - used to show us the details in the fight - too fast otherwise.
→ Music - minor, slow tempo, dynamics increases from quite to help us focus & create atmosphere.
Co-Construct our SEXXXY paragraph:
S - In the fight scene between Julian and Jack, camera angles are used effectively to draw the viewer into the scene.
E - 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 Julian looks weak & vulnerable below him.
X - This makes the audience feel concerned, shocked and surprised because up till this point Jack had always agreed with Julian.
X - The director did this to draw the viewer into the event and highlight Jack's 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 start of the film when we first meet Auggie. They are both used to show us a small part of a bigger moment.
