Angles and movement shots.

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

*POV- Other mother - dominant & powerful.

*Medium shot- gives us some idea of the 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 other world to suggest something is not right.

*Directors purpose-makes us feel sorry for Wybie.
-It makes the audience think that maybe the other mother isn't so nice-foreshadowing.


*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 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 sorry for Wybie and makes the other mother see 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.
