Workshop 3: How do' Lighting & Colour' enhance the story?

Atmosphere - How do you feel in a situation mood.
Scene - Auggies first day at school - when Auggie walks into class, everybody stares at him, when he tries to sit down Amos says the seat is saved.

Angles/Shot - Long shot / Eye level of the class, Close up of Auggie to see his emotional reactions
Lighting + colour  - Palette - Colour used in the scene Eg, Nature pallet has colours from nature
Warm/Cold  warm makes us feel safe and comfortable
                   -The cold makes us feel clean and unhappy
Bright - Vibrant, Jumps out
Dull - Faded, Muted, Blends in
Natural - Sun - Moonlight
Artificial Man-made light e.g lightbulbs.

Lighting + Colour - Warm - Makes the classroom feel safe + welcoming.
                             - Bright colours - Gives the room energy and life
                             - Natural light coming through the windows
Effect on the viewer - Happy, Chilled, Exciting, Educational, Inspiring
Director - Wants to create a happy and safe atmosphere in Mr Brown's classroom, even though it feels this way Julien and Amos's behaviour is unkind.

In the scene of August's first day at school, lighting & colour are used to create a safe and welcoming classroom environment.  For instance, Bright warm colours are used on the walls and natural light come through the windows to make the space look lively. this made the audience feel excited, inspired, and that the space is educational an supportive for learning, This was done to show Mr Brown had created a classroom space that would be welcoming to mew students like Auggie
coinciding with this the use of body language. the children in the room are sitting up smiling and paying lots of attention, they are learning ready, this reminds the viewers of kindness because of the lighting and the colour make the room welcoming for all students
