4 screenshots of Coraline with SEXXXY Paragraphs

In Coraline this shot of the Beldam, a medium close up is used. This is demonstrated by showing only the face and of a lifted hand with the Beldam showing a smirk, this makes the audience feel as if the Beldam really isn't up to any good by having a smirk which could mean a troublesome intent. The director did this to make it that the audience could have an idea on what the villain is thinking of doing or just thinking in general. Combined with the bright yellow lighting in the room which gives a calm feeling to the situation at hand makes the viewer have different perspectives to this scene. This reminds me of another time in the film when Coraline first comes into the 'Other world' where her 'Other Parents' seem cool but there is an eerie feeling to them.

In the film Coraline, a Long Shot is used for this scene amazingly. For example, in this shot we can see that it has been taken from a far distance from the end with the door, giving the viewers a curious thought on what could be at the end of the tunnel. This makes the audience feel curious about what is at the end of this blue shaded tunnel with a door which is slightly opened, making us feel as if we want to travel the distance to find out. The reason this shot was taken was for the audience to have a feeling of curiosity by the director. This worked well with the music which made the scene seem spectacular and cool with its spiritual uplifting sound. This reminds me of a time in the film when Coraline has her first encounter with the lively garden that has music playing in the scene which sounds spectacular as well as spiritual.

In this scene of Coraline, a Mid Shot is used, and it is used quite well. For instance, in this scene we can see that we are only seeing Coraline from her shoulders and above while her mother is blurred because of her being in the background, as well we are seeing Coraline is annoyed over something. This makes us understand that something has happened that made her feel annoyed and that she could be expressing it to her mother. This was done so that the viewers could maybe show compassion towards Coraline for her annoyed behaviour or the mother who is probably getting annoyed by Coraline for expressing her feelings of annoyance. This worked well because it shows that the director might want you to feel for the characters. This aspect can be compared to a time later on where Coraline goes shopping with her mother and wants to purchase a pair of gloves which her mother declines and leaves Coraline annoyed.

In this shot of Coraline a medium shot was utilized. We see this when the shot is used to show the emotion in Coraline and the ‘Other Mother’s’’ faces as shown here with Coraline seeming interested in what the ‘Other Mother’ has to say. This makes the audience feel as the ‘Other Mother’ has something to do and she’s telling Coraline an activity which she could do instead of speaking with her. The director did this to display that the ‘Other Mother’ was already occupied and that Coraline was talking with her to find an activity she could do. Combined with the calm warm lighting in the room in which the two characters are standing means there seems to be no danger in the room. This aspect can be compared to the few times Coraline has spoken with the ‘Other Parents’ where there seems to be no danger or life-threatening situations.
