Notes:
Opening Scene:
Opening Scene:
- Music: sounds childish; creepy, starts quiet
- Lyrics: "dreaming" is repeated, humming
- Lyrics: "dreaming" is repeated, humming
Setting:
Place: Pink Palace Apartments - Real World
Music: changes to increase tension - faster, louder, minor
Coraline: sassy, moody, stubborn, curious, needy, bright colours - blue hair, yellow jacket & boots
- main character - makes us focus, shows she's different from those in the real world
Colour/Lighting:
Colour: dull, grey, boring, dark, bland, tinted, makes the 'real' house feel depressing, crusty and old, not a place Coraline wants to be in
Real Parents - dull, workaholics, don't have time for Coraline, not happy, depressed, tired; sleep deprived
The 'Other' World:
Colour/Lighting: bright, vibrant, warm, welcoming - makes it seem safe, inviting and safe, Coraline no longer stands out
Other Parents: fun, active, shows Coraline attention, energetic, cooked her nice food, looks almost entirely different than her 'real' parents; they seem happy and healthy
Music: doesn't match what we're seeing, a bit spooky, slow to medium, minor, quiet
The 'Real' Neighbours:
Colour: greys, dark, mournful, sad, colours - palette, foggy, faded, run down, dusty, sticky
Lighting: dark/gloomy - inside house, cold light, shabby, dark, poor
Music:
- bland background, medium pace
- Latin style, upbeat, movement, used to be dated
Setting: forest appears dead, house is old, rustic, run down, basement, theatre room
Characters:
- Mr. Bobinsky - Russian, 'drunk', quite awkward, a weirdo
- Miss Spink and Miss Forcible - they argue, opposites but shares same interests, actress, old fashioned, confident, attention-seekers
Coraline doesn't like them but they're better than nothing.
The 'Other' Neighbours:
Colour:
- bright, light, friendly, welcoming
- good dark
Lighting:
- warm light - orange/yellow
- warm light- spotlights are bright
Music:
- loud, joyful, circus music, playful, minor
- energetic, brass
Setting:
- garden is alive, house is painted/looks new, apartments looked colourful, clean, organised
- theater, grand, large, posh, in good condition
Characters:
- Mr. Bobinsky - clean/tidy/done-up, healthy blue, much nicer, had better speech, got Coraline's name correct
- Miss Spink and Miss Forcible - transforms into their younger selves - young, thin, attractive, appears to be extremely talented actresses/acrobats
Coraline likes them, is enthusiastic to have them around as neighbours.
The Beldam:
Colours: dark, green, colourful, purple/pink, neons that show in the dark, fades to white
Lighting: dark, cold, unsafe, horrific
Music: slower, quiet, menacing, creepy, spooky, 'Other' world, suspicious
