Shot 1 - Boring, cold, empty, sad, lonely, dull
Cloudy/misty through the window which makes it feel cold, uses a cold light to make it feel like she doesn't want to be there.
Lighting is used effectively in this shot of the real world kitchen to make it feel dull, depressing and lonely.
This is achieved by using a cold light through the cloudy window.
The director has chosen this lighting to remind us that Coralines real world is boring and lifeless compared to the other world behind the door.
Red, White, and Blue
- use when you have several ideas to convey about a topic.
E.g In this image, lighting is used to make the room feel empty, cold, and depressing.
Shot 2 - Warm, delightful, happy, bright, welcoming, inviting, safe, enthusiastic.
Use of a yellow/orange warm light.
Outside is night but room feels safe
Meets other parents for the first time.
Coraline is confused but likes them
In the other kitchen we see more things and a sense of delight, security and welcoming
Lighting is used to create this through the use of a yellow/orange warm light from a bulb above the table. The director has done this to highlight the positive relationship between Coraline and her other parents. Whilst her real parents ignore her, the other parent acknowledge and want to spend time with her. This is re-enforced by the contrasting use of col and white light in Coralines real world.
