opening scene: A doll turned into another doll which looks like Coraline (main character). We see this is done by the other mother at the end of the movie by a hand reveal.
Camera shots/angles. Close ups (to signify some importance of the details on the doll). No wide shots (so we never see the entire room to to keep things hidden).
Music/theme. Airy, scary, suspenseful. Fake langauge to made seem innocent and so there is no focus on the words however keeping a slight creep factor. Only word that could be heard is dreaming as the world the other mother is in is a dream. Soothing/calmish music.
Colour/vibrancy: Aged, old, worn down, green/cream, dark, worn down .
Lighting: Artificial lighting (lamp), Natural light slourced by moon, dim/darker lighting to give an odd/ubnormal feel caused by moon as it is night.
Setting/reality world: Feels old, faded pink, abandoned, run down, peeled paint, dead enviroment and natural forms. Weather is wet, cold, grey, misty.
Camera shots/angles: wide angles- shows entire house in context/ showing our main set peice.
Music: Background noises. Diegteic sounds noise that is cuased naturally/no music.
Colour: dark, muted, dim, spooky, aged, attacked by nature.
Lighting: Sun is providing light however it is coming through clouds creating white/grey colour. This makes it unpleasant.
Grey muted colour. Coraline being the only provide of light colours and music comes back as she seems to be the only happiness. Something spooks Coraline and the msuic then speeds up and there is a high angle making her seem weak. The light changes darker. Then music stops after suspense then a cat appears. And all is calm.
Then lightning hits and a guy above her is shown. They use a low angle shot to make Coraline look weak and this guy looks strong or powerful. World still looks dark airy. The house/main set is looked at from a distance showing no civilazation meaning no help can be located. Close-up and tilt shot changing setting from outside to inside.
House is a creamy colour, old, and unloved. The parents are portraied as tired, overworked, not giving Coraline attention which gives reason for wanting another world. Diegetic sounds again. Carpet and things making her seem weak in that house and lifeless.
