Themes:
- Courage and Bravery
- Looks can be deceiving 

{S}The theme looks can be deceiving is shown through the gradual
change of the other mother from a honey sweet woman to a vinegar sour 
metal spider. {E} At the start of the film the other mother appears short,
curvy and wearing the same clothes as coraline real mother. {X} This 
makes the audience feel safe, happy and relaxed towards the other mother.
{X}The director did this to show us that coraline feels at home with the 
other mother in the other world. {E} However , the other mother changes 
slowly througout the film until she  finally becomes a skeletal,metal spider who wants to trap coraline in her other world.When we first see the other mother she is in a warm orange light which makes her seem evil,grotesque and horrifying. Selick shows this changes  to help the audience understand that the other mother was not who  she really appeared to be and this shows the theme,'looks can be deceiving'.

work shop 2

atmosphere/mood-the way you feel in a situation

Brainstorm

Cold light:
-White/blue light
-makes it feel cold/clinic

Warm light:
-orange/yellow light
-makes it feel warm/safe

a.Real world kitchen-outside-rainy,windy,misty,cold
                                    -natural light
                                    -cold-white light
small,cold,bored,sad,lonely
-wants to leave -does't feel like home.
-shows that coraline doen't like it here is unhappy.

b.The other kichen-warm orange light-artificial light from bulbs
 cosy,warm,happy,welcome,safe
feels like home-a better home 
-has a family that cares about her
-coraline is happy here.
-the other world is the perfect web/trap to catch coraline.
-themes-
big ideas in the story
1.looks can be decieving /be careful
                                           what you wish for
2.bravely/courage 

in the kitchen scenes lightning is used effectively to
enhance the story and shows the theme 'looks can 
be decieving ? In the real world kitchen a natural cold
light comes through the rainy window which creates an 
atmosphere of boredom, sadness and loneliness. the director 
did this to show us that coraline doesn't like it here and is unhappy.
juxtaposed to this is the kitchen in the other world. it is lit by a warm, orange 
artical light that makes the space feel warm,welcoming and safe.
selick used this to show that coraline is happy and feels at home 
in the other world. this helps show the theme 'looks can be decieving 'because 
coraline feels safe but by the end of the film we will discover that the other world 
is a perfect trap designed to catch coraline.
