-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the scene where Auggie cries to his mother about being bullied, color and lighting is used to create an atmosphere of sympathy. We see this through the use of warm and dull colors in the shot. These make the space feel warm and comfotable for Auggie to express his emotions. This makes us understand how Auggie is feeling, Miserable oppressed and depressed because he looks different from his peers. He asks his mum,"Will it always matter" which is a feeling most in the audience can relate too. This was done to show the theme, the importance of friendship and family, because Auggie earns resilience by talking issues through with his mum. Combined with this is the use of close-up shots to show the emotions and tears on Auggies face. This reminds the viewer of a moment later in the story where Auggie us upset the viewer of a moment later in the story where Auggie is upset because his sister Via doesn't want him to go to her play. Just like this scene, Auggie runs out to his room upset and a member of his family comes to reassure him
