Workshop Two

||High angle||
-Makes the character 'other Wybie' 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 because- he looks small, sad, innocent. The first character to in the other world to suggest something is not right.

||Directors Purpose||
-Makes us feel sorry for Wybie. Makes us suspicious of the other mother as if she isn't so nice, foreshadowing.

This shot shows 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 point of view of the other mother. She is looking down the front porch steps at a scared other Wybie. This makes the audience feel worried, sorry and empathetic for the other Wybie and makes the other mother seem powerful. The purpose of this scene was to make Wybie look vulnerable and scared to make the other mother not be all that she seems. This worked well with the use of lighting, Wybie is in a warm light but surrounded in darkness, the director has created an atmosphere of caution- something does not seem right. This reminds the viewer of a later scene where Coraline is looking up at the other mother in horror and she throws her a magical portal into a locked room. This shows that looks can be deceiving because the other mother wasn't nice like Coraline first thought.
