angels and movements - looks can be deceiving - workshop 2

brainstorm:

- high angel - makes the character "other wybie" look small, week, vulnerable 

- POV - "other mother" - dominant and powerful 

- medium shot - gives us some ideas of the background but not full

- audience feels - powerful, we are looking down on wybie throught the "other mothers'' POV

- sad, worried for wybie - he looks small, sad, innocent - the first character in the other world to suggest something is not right

- director purpose - to make us feel sorry for wybie 

- makes audience think that maybe the ''Other mother" isn't so nice - foreshadowing

paragraph:

in the shot with the "other wybie" and the "other mother", high angel shots  are used effectively to show the theme looks can be 'deceiving'. this is demonstrated through a high angel shot from the point of view of the other mother. she is looking down the front porch steps at the scared other wybie. this makes the audience fell worried / sorry for wybie and makes the other mother seem / feel powerful. the purpose of this scene was to make the audience think that maybe the other mother isn't as nice after all. combined with the use of lighting, wybie is in a warm light but surrounded by darkness, the directer has created an atmosphere of caution - somethings not right. this reminds the viewer of the later scene where coraline is looking up at the other mother in horror and she throws her through a magical portal into a locked room. this shows that looks can be deceiving because the other mother wasn't nice like coraline thought

brainstorm:

- the camera is tilted and looking at coraline creepily

- the camera angel is called a dutch tilt  - a dutch tilt is achieved by tilting the camera so the horizon is no longer level. used judiciously,it can provide an unusual or dramatic perspective.

-the viewers probably feel creeped out because the doll is spying on her because when we see the doll we know that the doll was watching her because it was on the same angel and it was when coraline looked at it 

-the directer did this to make the audience either feel scared or to entertain them or both.

- the lighting in the photo is dark, half wall half coraline, a tiny bit of light above her head

paragraph:

in this photo the doll is watching coraline this shot is called DUTCH TILT. This is demonstrated through the dutch tilt shot when the doll is watching over coraline. The doll is looking at coraline creepily and she didnt notice until about 10 seconds after. This makes the audience think that the doll is watching her because the other mother has button eyes and the doll has eyes. The purpose of this scene was to let the audience know that the doll was watching her. combined with the use of lighting, it was dark and we could see coraline on one half of the screen but the other half was a wall. The directer has created an atmosphere of caution - something is watching coraline.
