Write a paragraph explaining how are colour and lighting used to create the two worlds

This scene is near the start of the film and gives us a feel on how the real world is and the overall vibe of the real world. The colour in this scene is a bit dull but the light coming in from the window makes the vibe in the house feel a bit happier. This photo seems a bit plain and looks like there isn't much warmth throughout the house, also the colour here isn't a warm orangey yellow colour but this has a white colour which makes the house look cold. One of the reasons why Coraline wanted to stay in the other world is because it was more welcoming to the eyes but that just went to show the theme looks can be decieving.

In this photo we can see the other worlds kitchen and compared to the kitchen we saw before this one has a warmth feeling in it because of the nice orange colours and with it being night time it gives off a different effect. this is the first time we see the kitchen in the other world so for Coraline this would make her feel welcome because the normal kitchen is so boring compared to this.

How does Lighting & Colour enhance the story

Atmosphere- feel in a space, energy around you.

Mood- how you feel

Location- place something isn happening.

Lighting- natural or artifical. Natural light that comes from the moon, stars, sun, lightning, fire etc. Artifical lighting is man made light source like electricity, light bulbs etc.

Warm or Cold Light- Warm light usually has a yellow or orange tone. Cold light colour is usually blue or a white colour.

Bright or dull- Bright fills the space, dark fills the space faded.

Colour- Colour Pallete- what are the predominant colour used. 

Warm and Cold Colours- Warm is welcoming friendly colour. Cold is isolated, cold and chilly.

Muffin Reflections

On Tuesday each group made something for there stakeholder and my group made Blueberrie muffins, once we made the muffins we had to ask your stakeholder some questions and what they could improve on. Some of the questions that I asked my stake holder were, What can I add or take away from the recipe to make it better?  Personally I think that they could have been bigger and had something else in it to add some more flavor but my parents who were my stakeholder said they tasted good and that was it. The appearance looked pretty good on the top and turned a bit blue because we added the blueberries in at the wrong time. The texture on the inside were nice and fluffy and you could see whole blueberries inside of it. Some things that I would change for next time is to add more blueberries, add something crunchy in it like some sort of crumble. One thing that I have to remember is to not add the blueberries in before we add the flour.
