workshop 3

atmosphere - feel in a space, energy around you
mood - how do you feel
location - place something is happening


Lighting -   natural light that comes from nature - sun, moon, stars, lighting, fire.
                   artificial -man made light source - electricity, light bulbs.

                 
                  warm light - yellow / orange tone
                   cold light - blue / wight tone - clean/ clinical
               
                    bright - fills the space
                    dull fills part of the space - faded.

Colour - colour pallet - what are the predominant e colours used.
                                     warm colours - welcoming happy friendly
                                      cold colours - makes us feel sad lonely chilly
                                            - clean clinical

Brainstorm: lighting / colour
whats happening -Coroline and her family having breakfast in the real kitchen
                           -look rushed, tired
Describe - lighting -natural light - clouds through window
                               cold- wight tone
                                bright - hole space bright
Colour -wight, yellowish wight, cream- old
           - cold - makes space feel tired.



Effect on viewer- boring, dull, sad,
(feel/ think) - understand they are not a happy family.
                   - Coraline unhappy

Directors purpose - makes other world more appealing
                              - Coroline doesn't like the real world

Other techniques - setting - outside the window is  cloudy and grey
angles/ shots, music,        - furniture looks old and run down
costume makeup              - doesn't feel lived in, empty
setting

workshop 1

Theme and Ideas - continuous idea/ subject that links throughout the text
'Looks can be deceiving' - don't judge a book by its cover
                                        - don't judge by appearance
Example 1: character of Wybie- when we first met him he seems scary (mask, motorbike, use of high angles to look bigger, loud music) but in reality hes just a weird neighbour. 
>shows theme because like other characters, our first impression based on appearance, tone,visual techniques aren't always correct. 
>important because helps audience understand with Coraline that just because something looks good doesn't mean it is - should chose the real world over the other world. 
Example 2: character of the 'other mother' - she seems normal/friendly  at the start but by the end she becomes a soul devouring spider demon. 
>shows the theme because 'other mother' isn't what she appears to be at the start so we shouldn't judge by first impression. 
>important because Coraline realises that having something that looks perfect isn't always a good thing.

Statement - in Coraline, the theme 'looks can be deceiving' is used effective to engage the audience. 
Evidence - for instance, the character of the 'Other Mother' shows us that looks can be deceiving because she starts off as a king mother figure but gradually changes into a soul devouring demon. 

eXplanation- This makes us understand that we shouldn't judge a     audience            character by first impressions as they can often be                              wrong. 
  eXplanation - This is done to help Coraline decide between the      director           real world and the other world. If the 'other                                        mother' was really perfect Coraline                                                   wouldn't chose to go home. 
eXplanation - combined with this use of colour and lighting. The                           'Other Mother' first appears in a vibrantly bright                               room that makes us feel warm and safe. However,                             by the end it has become dark and green witch                                  makes the viewer feel scared and shows that her                           look was deceiving 

your link - This can be a juxtaposed to the charicter of wybie who we think at first is evil but is actually kind, proving looks can be deceiving
