Workshop 2: Linking themes to the impact of Angles, Movement and shots

Angle & Movements

* High angle - makes the character 'other Whybie' look small, weak, and vulnerable.

* POV - Other Mother - dominant & powerful
* Medium shot - gives us some idea of background but not full.

* Audience feels - powerful, we are looking down on Wybie through 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. 


* Directors Purpose - makes us feel sorry for Wybie.
- makes the audience think that maybe the Other Mother isn't so nice - foreshadowing. 

S.E.X.X.X.Y Paragraph 







-------------------------------------------------------------
In the shot with the other Wybie and the Other Mother, high angle shots are used effectively to show the theme 'looks can be deceiving! This is demonstrated through a high angle shot from the Other Mother. She is looking down the front porch steps at a scared other Wybie. This makes the audience feel sorry for Wybie and makes the Other Mother seem powerful. The purpose of this scene was to make the audience think that maybe the Other Mother isn't so nice after all. Combined with the use of lighting, Wybie is in a warm light but surrounded by darkness, the director has created an atmosphere of caution- something is not right. This reminds the viewer of a later scene where Coraline is looking up at the Other Mother in horror as 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's first thought.

Dutch Tilt - Shows that somethings is odd 

POV - The POV is from the doll/sneaky that has been given to Coraline by The Real Wybie

Audience Feels - Concerned from the perspective of the doll  

Additional info - music/lighting/color - Music is silenced - The lighting is dark mixed with a little cold light

In this shot with Coraline and the doll that 'The Real Wybie' has given to her was moved behind the dresser with its head rotated making it the perspective of the doll seemed like something odd is happening
