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.
