Director - Wants the classroom to be a safe and happy environment in Mr Browns classroom. Even though it feels this way, Julien and Amos's behaviour is unkind.

In the scene of Augusts first day of 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 lights comes through the windows to make the space look lively. This makes the audience feel excited inspired and that the space is educational and supportive for learning. This was done to show that Mr Brown had created a classroom space that would be welcoming to new students like Auggie. Coinciding with this is 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 viewer of the theme of kindness because the lighting and colour make the room welcoming for all students.
