Lighting & Colour

Atmosphere - How you feel in a situation.
Mood
1. Scene - Auggies first day at school - when Auggie walks into class everyone stares at him. When he asks to sit down Amos says the sit is saved.

  • Angles/ Shot - long shot / eye level of class, close ups of Auggie to see his emotional reaction.
  • Lighting & Colour -                                                                                                                Palette - Colour used in the scene e.g nature palette has colours from nature - brown, green
  • Warm / Cold - Warm makes feel safe/comfortable.                                                                             - Cold makes feel clean / Sterile 
  • Bright - vibrant, jumps, out.
  • Dull - faded, muted, Blends in
  • Natural - sun/moon light 
  • Artificial - man made light, e.g light Bulbs
  • Bright Colour - gives the room energy and life 
Effect on the viewer - happy, chilled, exciting, educational, inspiring.

Director - Wants to create a happy and safe atmosphere in Mr Browns classroom. Even though it feels this way, Julian & Amos's Behaviour is unkind.


In the scene of August's first day at school, lighting and colour are used to create a safe and welcoming classroom environment. For instance, Bright warm colours are used on the walls and natural comes through the windows to make the space looks lively. This makes the audience feel excited, Inspired, and that the space is educational and supportive for learning. This was done to show Mr Brown had created a classroom space that would be welcoming to new students like Auggie. 
Coinciding with this  is the used of body language. The children in the room are sitting up, smiling, and paying lots of attention they are learning ready. This reminds the viewer of the theme Kindness because the lighting and colour make the room welcoming for all students.
