gmnastics term

The last few weeks we have been focused on gymnastics in PE.

The skills that i already had when i started gymnastics were a front roll, Walking on the beam, a back drop on the trampoline, a handstand and swing bar. 

I have improved at doing a front flip on the mini tramp by landing it. `

I would like like to learn to do a backflip.

-Gives us a sense about how Coraline feels bored, sad
-Shows the dad is exhausted and over worked

Other world study
-Oranges,artificial, reds, grey
-Warm, artificial light
-Happy, bright, exciting, relaxed, clean, tidy, spacious

Colour is important in creating the two worlds and showing the theme 'looks can be deceiving'. This is shown when comparing the study's in the real and other worlds. The real world study is dull, dowdy and cold with a grey and blue colour palette. This makes the audience feel like the space is miserable and unpleasant to be in. The director did this to show that Coraline is upset that her father is to busy to spend time with her. Juxtaposed to this is they study in the other world. Artificial oranges and reds make the other study feel warm, welcoming and enticing. Selick does this to show the audience that this is the kind of world Coraline would like to live in. Colour is used to make the other world feel like a safe place but it is actually a trap to lure in Coraline and steal her SOUL!

Second picture 

Bright,happy,something weird gonna happen

In the second picture the lighting is used and efficient way to enhance the reader, and make it seem like the other world is going to be bright, better and happy. The lighting looks like a cold light but still feels a bit warm and exciting. The tunnel makes coraline want to go through because of the lighting she is curious of whats through the tunnel just like the readers. 

How does lighting enhance the story

How does lighting enhance the story

Real world kitchen

Dark, Dull, dowdy 

Lights coming from outside

Makes house look old, cold and molded

Would smell mustered

Cold light 

Bright white, Sometimes blue, makes the room feel cold

Warm light often yellow/orange, makes the room feel warmer

Sad, bored, lonely, cold

Clear comparison/contrast between the worlds.

Not everything in the real world is perfect

Show us coraline isn't happy there

Other world kitchen

Bright, warm light,welcoming

Artificial light bulb over the table

Warm light often yellow/orange, makes the room feel warmer

Feels warm, welcoming, happy, safe

Makes the world seem perfect 

It is where coraline wants to be

The other world is the perfect web/trap to catch coraline

Atmosphere/mood- the way you feel in a situation

When comparing the real world and other world kitchens, lighting is used effectively to enhance the story. The real world kitchen uses a natural cold light coming through the window to make the space feel cold, bored and unhappy. The directer did this to show the audience that coraline isn't happy there. In comparason, the other world kitchen has an artificial warm orange lighting light that creates a welcoming, happy and safe atmosphere. Selick used this technique to show that coraline is happy in this perfect world. It is the perfect trap to  capture coraline. This can be compared to later in the film when coraline realizes the other mother is evil from this point the lighting in the other world becomes duller like the real world to show coraline doesn't want to stay there anymore.

Coraline - symbols

The other mothers hand is a symbol that the other mother is always watching coraline and is always near.



The kitchen is a symbol that depending on coralines mood the colours of the worlds are different because in the real world she is bored and sad but in the other world she is happy and having fun.
