.

 Juxtaposed
- the complete opposites

themes - big ideas

1. looks can be deceiving 
2. courage and bravery   

colour is important in creating the two worlds and showing the theme ' looks can be deceiving!' this is shown when comparing the study's in the real and other worlds. the real world study is dull, dowdy and cold with a grey and blue colour palette, this makes the audience feels like the space is miserable and unpleasant to be in . the director this to show that coraline is  upset that her father is too busy to spend time with her. Juxtaposed to this is the study in the other world. Artificial oranges and reds make the other study feel warm, welcoming and enticing. Selick does this to show the audience that this is the kind of world Coraline world like to live in .colour is used to make the other world feel like a safe place but it is actually a trap to lure in coraline and steal her SOUL!.

English workshop

the real kitchen

• dark                                                            
• old
• cold
• nasty smell 
• lonely 
• boring 
• cloudy 
• raining
•  grey 
• dowdy 

cold light 

• blue 
• green 
• white 

feels 

• sad
• bored 
• lonely 

it tells how that everything in real world isn't perfect  and its also show how coraline feels in the real world which is sad, boring, lonely  

the other kitchen

• welcoming 
• warm 
• happy 
• safe 
• joyful 
• 
  

warm lights 

• red 
• orange
• yellow  

the other mother is trying to show coraline that the other world is much better then the real world

• the other house is like a web, but the house is the web, the other mother is trying to catch coraline by using the other house 

When comparing the real world and other world kitchens, lighting is used effectively to enhance the story. The real world kitchen uses a natural cold light coming through the window to make the space feel cold, bored and unhappy. The directer did this to show the audience that coraline isn't happy there. In comparison, the other world kitchen has an artificial warm orange lighting light that creates a welcoming, happy and safe atmosphere. Selick used this technique to show that coraline is happy in this perfect world. It is the perfect trap to  capture coraline. This can be compared to later in the film when coraline realises the other mother is evil from this point the lighting in the other world becomes duller like the real world to show coraline doesn't want to stay there anymore.
