we zoom out to see Auggie in his room.

Conclusion/Ending 1.40.26
Camera Angles / Shots - Tilt shot up as Auggie bows , we are shown a similar scene to the opening , only this time the background is actual space rather than a painting on Auggies bedroom wall.
-Finishes with a repeat of the astronaut jumping arms up into the shot
Music- Major key-Happy
Tempo-fast-gives energy
Dynamics-loud - gives energy
Makes the viewer feel happy about the ending
Where as at the start Auggie was imagining himself happy, at the end he actually is happy
which is why the background of the scene is now realistic.
