Colour pallete- the colours used in a scene
predominant- most obvious
juxtaposed- the complete opposite
Theme:
-looks ban be deceiving.
-courage and bravery.
Brainstorm:
Picture a:
-cold natural light
-grey, white dull, blue
Feels- cold, large, lonely, boring, cluttered, old, cramped.
Director- shows us Coraline is unhappy there.
- shows us the real father is too busy to spend time with Coraline
Picture b:
-yellow, vibrant, red, orange
-orange, artificial warm light.
Feels- happy, safe, warm, welcoming, clean, perfect
Director- Coraline is happy there
-shows us the other father wants to spend time with Coraline.
Colour is effective in helping to create the two worlds and show the theme "looks can be deceiving". The real-world study uses a colour pallete predominantly of greys, whites and blues. This creates a cold lonely and boring atmosphere. The director did this to show that Coraline is unhappy in the real-world and that her real father is too busy to spend time with her., The use of a cold natural light re-enforces this mood. Juxtaposed to this is the use of colour in the other world study. Vibrant reds, oranges and yellows make the room feel warm, safe and cosy. Selick used this pallet to show that Coraline is happier in the other world where the other father has time for her. This shows that looks can be deceiving because Coraline mistakes the bright perfect world for a safe place when really it is a trap.
