(S) In the fight scene between Jack and Julian, Camera angles are used effectively to draw the viewer into the scene. (E) This in demonstrated through the use of low angles, Close ups and dutch tilt shots. The low angle shot makes Jack look stronger and more aggressive, Whilst Julian looks weak and vulnerable below him. (X) This makes the audience feel concerned, shocked,surprised because up till this point Jack has always agreed with Julian. (X) The director did this to draw the viewer into the event and highlight Jacks struggle to choose between being right or being popular. (X) Combined with this is the use of slow motion and music which help us to see details on the characters faces and recognizes their emotional reactions. (Y) This can be compered to teh use of close up shots at the start of the film when we first meet August. They ar eboth used to show us a small part of a bigger moment.
