theme & ideas- continious idea/subject that thinks throughout the text.

"looks can be deceiving"

-dont judge a book by its cover

-dont judge by the apparence

 example  1:

-when coraline first meets wybie- when we first meet him he seems scary(mask,motorbikes,use of high angle,loud music) but in reality hes just a weird neighbour.

-shows theme because like other characters our first impressions based on apparence,tone,visual techniques arent always correct.

-important because helps audience understand with Coraline that just because something looks good doesnt mean it is, she could choose the real world over the other world.

example 2:

charater of the 'other mother'- because she seems normal/friendly at the start but by the end of becomes a soul devourering spider demon.

-shows theme because 'Other mother" isnt what she appears tobe at the start so we should judge by first impressions.

-important because coraline realises that having something that looks perfect isnt always a good thing.

statement

-in coraline, the theme 'looks can be deceiving' is used effectively to engage the audience.

 

evidence

-for instance, the character of the character 'Other mother' shows us that looks can be deceiving because she starts off as a kind mother figure but gradually changes into a soul devouring demon.

explanation

-this makes us understand that we shouldnt judge a character based on first impressions as they can often be wrong.

xplanations

-this is done to help coraline decide between the real world and the other world. is the 'Other mother' was really perfect coraline wouldnt choose to go home.

xplanation(another technipue(shots/angles,music,setting,lighting/colour)

-combines with this is the use of colour and lighting. the 'Othe rmother' first appears in a vibrently bright room that makes us feel warm and safe. however,by the end it has become dark and green which makes the veiwer feel scared and shows that her first look was deceiving.

your link-this can be juxtaposed of the character of wybie who we think at first is evil but is actually kind prooving looks can be decieving.
