Coraline Notes

Opening Scene =
*Music: starts quiet, a baby tune/bit creepy, repetitive

*Perspective - other mother P.O.V we know because of the metal needle hands.

*Use of close up - makes us focus on the doll not on the creator.

* Lighting / Colour - Dim, dark green, faded, - Sets the mood/atmosphere that is old, abandoned, unappealing and rundown.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting - Pink Palace - Real world
* Music - Gentle, happy, harmony, charming, sung by children, language made up, makes calm happy atmosphere, Changes to increase tension - faster, louder, minor

*Coraline - sassy, moody, stubborn, Bright blue hair, Yellow jacket & boots, main character 

*Colour/lighting - Grey, Dark, Dull, Boring, Bland tinted, atmosphere - makes the real house look moody, depressing, old, crusty & old Not a place Coraline wants to be

*'Real' parents - dull, workaholics, don't have time for Coraline, not happy, depressed, tired   

*Camera shots - High angle, Low angle, Dutch Tilt
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'Other' World =
*Colour/Lighting - Bright, vibrant, warm, welcoming - atmosphere - makes it feel safe, Coraline doesn't stand out anymore. 

*Other parents - Fun, active, show coraline attention, energetic cooked her a nice meal, they look happy & healthy unlike the real parents.

*camera shots - bird's eye view

* Music - Music doesn't match what we are seeing, slow to medium pace,
