Paragraph: 1,,, In the real kitchen scene, colour and lighting were used effectively. Also the real world is sort of boring, and makes you feel like you dont want to be there. The type of shot that was taken is sort of like a medium shot. The colour in the real world is darkened, and also shadowy. Looks like she is staring into a creepy cats eye.  As Coraline stares or talks to the cat, there's sort of a feeling that something else is going. So it is sort of Spooky looking and a spooky as feeling for the audience.

           

Paragraph 2:

In the "Other World" when Coraline first arrives there, She thinks its All nice, and stuff. This angle shot is sort of a long-distance. The lighting is also sort of dullish. Coraline's room is sort of dark but has a nice design to it. For me being part of the audience I would think that would be a better room for a kid then what is in the "Real World" With the "Real Mother". The other mother acts all nice and each time Coraline goes back there she starts changing like 10 percent each time then it goes to 30 percent chance, and then 50 then 100 and then after all she turns all mean all of a sudden. Into herself, that Coraline would never have thought of.
