Lighting and Colour

 First View on the 'Real World'

When I took my first look at the real world I instantly felt a sense of boredom, this is because of the lighting of the real world.  This is mainly because of the dull setting.  For instance the lighting inside the 'Pink Palace.' It was very plain as if nothing really popped out but Coraline.  I think that it was used like this because they want you to mainly think that which in my opinion was very clever.

First view on the 'Other World'

When Coraline went into the other world we felt a sense of welcoming and warmth.  This was mainly because of the spectacular colours that immaculately showed what the director was trying to present.  When I say 'warmth' I mean welcoming colours.  There was a scene where the garden from the other world was portraited with a whole bunch of unnatural and artificial colours.

After the button eyes

After the scene of the 'other' mother trying to get Coraline's eyes the other world changes.  The place starts to show its original glow.  This is done when the lights start to dim and show off the lime green.  This gives off the disgusting feel.  Then the other mother starts to change.

Real World after the resolution

When we come back to the real world the other place starts to glow.  They start working on the garden and it shows off more natural light which gives us a sense of love and affection.  At this scene, nothing really seems dull or out of place but everything feels amazing.
