Camera Angles:
Some common camera angles used throughout the movie are eye level shots and high angle shots.
Mis En Scene:
The mis en scene used in The Water Boy helps make the film unique. Some common props in the movie are the occasional football, Bobby Boucher's water coolers/cups, and the coaches' whistles. Most of the film is set at a football field or Boucher's house.
Editing:
Some common forms of editing used in this movie are jump cuts, cutaways, and montages.
Elements in the film:
Some elements conveyed in this movie are a happy ending, a sort of heroic mood as Boucher comes in and sets a new tone for the team he now plays for/gives water to, and sometimes a sympathetic mood is set at various points in the story to help the audience have a better understanding of Boucher as the main character.
Sound:
In this movie, a lot of music is used. For example, during football games upbeat yet hardcore music is used to set a tone and when Boucher is having a sympathetic feel to him, melodic like music is played.
Elements I Liked:
I love that the movie ended happily benefiting Boucher, his mom, and the team Boucher played for. I also like the heroic mood Boucher sets for his team and all who have drank his water.
Elements That Did Not Appeal To Me:
I didn't like that they made Bobby Boucher stutter even though that displays his character as a person. Even though Boucher isn't as mentally developed as everyone else I feel his stutter kind of makes his character vulnerable to more bullying.
