The boy's face is emphasized with lighting to focus attention on his emotions, as he sits alone while other children chant "fight, fight, fight" in the playground. Close-ups of the boy's sad and hurt expression are used to get the audience involved with his isolation and lack of support, encouraging identification with his perspective over others in the blurred background.

Screen shot 2
1. The lighting looks fairly natural as they are outside in a school playground, however it does look like there is emphasised lighting on the boy’s face which makes the audience focus on him more and feel his emotions. There is slow, low key music in the background and over the top is diagetic sound of the kids on the playground chanting “fight, fight, fight!” This connotes the sadness and hurt of the boy, when everyone else around him is joining in with the chant, he has no one to be with and help him out. The close up of the boy gets the audience involved with the character and makes them feel for him. He wants the audience to identify with him and his emotions. The producer wants the audience to take the side of this character and you can see this by the camera being focused on the boy and the rest of the shot is blurry and out of focus.1572731446027<br />
