Looks can be deceiving-
Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Don't judge by appearance.
Example 1: Character of wybie- when we first met him he seemed intimadating because of what he was wearing and the music but he was actually a bit of a nerd.
Shows theme because like other characters our first impressions are based on appearence, tone, visual techniques aren't always correct.
Important because it helps the audience understand with Coraline that just because something looks good doesn't mean it is. She should coose the real world over the other world.
Example 2: Character of the other mother- at the start she seems normal and friendly but by the end she becomes a soul devouring spider demon.
Shows theme because the other mother isn't what she appears to be at the start so we shouldn't judge by first impressions.
Important because Coraline realises that having something that looks perfect isn't always a good thing.
S-Statment: In Coraline, the theme "looks can be deceiving" is used effectively to engage the audience.
E-Evidence: For instance, the character of the "Other mother" shows us that looks can be deceiving because she starts off as a kind mother figure but gradually changes into a sould devouring demon.
X-eXplanation Audience: This makes us understand that we shouldnt judge a character based on first impressions as they can often be wrong.
X-eXplanation Director: This was done to help Coraline decide between the real world and the fake world. If the other mother was really perfect Coraline wouldn't choose the real mother.
X-eXplanation Another Technique: Combined with this is the use of color and lighting. The other mother first appears in a vibrantly bright room that make us feel warm and safe. However, by the end it had become dark and green which makes us feel intimedated.
Y-Your Link: This can be juxtaposed to the chracter of Wybie who we think at first is evil but is actually kind proving looks can be deceiving.
