sexxy essay:
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 palette predominantly of greys, white 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 to busy to spend time with her. The use of a cold natural light reinforces this mood. Juxtoposed 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. Henry Selic used this palette 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.
