Wonder

Intro - Close up, Spaceman Jumping into the shot, Slow-motion to give the feeling we are in space
- Intro Symbol of the astronaut helmet, covers his face, Represents the barrier August puts between himself & the world.
Music - starts off slow and dreamy then it went upbeat
The tempo & dynamics increase to build energy in the scene.
We hear A radio of Ground control talking to Astronaut
- Next is a tracking shot as we move away from the figure it is now a boy in a helmet jumping on the bed
- Close up Shows us Auggies 'Reality' or view of the world but as we pull back we see the real world.
Dad / Nate "It's like leading a lamb to the slaughter"
Building Suspends as we still haven't seen the boys face.
We don't know what's wrong but Hints its had - Hospital scene, The Helmet, The Tags, School Convo, Auggies dialogue in the voice over
Narrators
1. Auggie
2. Via
3. Jack
4. Miranda
5. Auggie
Star Wars -  a symbol of Auggie wanting people to treat him normally - A safe place. In the star wars universe, there are lots of weird-looking people so no one stares at them
Seen Auggie 
'Summer' "when being given the choice to be right or to be kind, choose kind."
People were bullying him about his padawan braid so when he got home he Cut it off.

Jack Has a Fight with Julien
Starts at eye level -  Mid/Medium shot
Makes us feel a part of the convo
- Sounds are Diagetic
- Low angle shot as the boy hits the ground, this makes the fight seem more dangerous. moves to close up of the struggle
 - Dutch tilt & low angle makes jack look more aggressive
- Music minor, Quiet, Dynamic - creates focus + intense, Slow Tempo
- Shot in slow-motion so we see the event more clearly

Significant - Shows the theme of popularity / Acceptance. Jack has learned from his mistakes + is standing up for his friend

The Nature Reserve fight scene = 1:29 - 1:32
During fight shots used to make Auggie and & friends bigger - More powerful & the bullies weak & vulnerable. Music had a fast tempo to build intensity.
 Significant - Auggie has grown as a character, he is now willing to stand up for himself.
- friendship, Auggie finally feels accepted when the other boy doesn't have to hide behind a mask anymore.
