Film Study/Term 2

  • High angle- makes the character óther wybie´ look small, weak, and vulnerable. 
  • POV- Other mother- dominant&powerful
  • Medium shot- Gives us some idea of background but not full.
  • The audience feels - powerful, we are looking down on wybie through other mother POV.
  • Worried for wybie-he looks small, sad, innocent
  • First character in other world to suggest something is not right. 

  • Directors' purpose- make 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 the deceiving.´ This demonstrated to a high angle shot from the point of view of the other mother. She is looking down the front porch at a scared other wybie. This makes the audience feels 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 a creative atmosphere of caution-something that 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 kooks can be deceiving because the other mother wasn't nice like Coraline's first thought.

Linking themes to impact angles, movement, and shots.
Brainstorm:
  • High angle-It makes the character smaller. 
  • Angle shots/used-making the scene interesting by showing some of the backgrounds behind the character and it gives us an idea of what´s happening in that scene.
