coraline time line

this is a timeline of the settings in the first little bit of the film. here is my time line

colours in Coraline

This is another discussion group. Here is what we are talking about

How is colour used to create the two worlds

first picture
what colours can we see
Gray
Green White
Black
Navy

what do we think about these colours
cool/cold
Threatening
Depressing
dull dark
blue gray palette

what do we know about the picture
the dad is hard at work and is not happy, miserable. Coraline is a interruption

what dose the palette do
blue gray
-Creates a mood of sadness
-not exciting colours
-combined with a dull cool light, it makes the scene sad and depressing

second picture
what colours can we see
Reds/Orange

what do we think about these colours
Warm
Bright
red orange palette

what do we know about the picture
Dad is happily practicing piano waiting for coraline

If the colour palette was reversed then the real world would be warm and happy and the other world would feel cold

The director uses this colour palette to reflect Coraline's feeling towards a place. When the blue gray palette is used she feels lonely and unhappy in this place. If there is an orange and red palette, she is happier

top picture is picture one
bottom picture is picture two

colour palette 1
Gray/yellow
pictures for it



The colours are gloomy, dark and washed out. The predominant colour used in this palette is gray because it creates an atmosphere of sadness and boredom. The director has done this to help the viewer empathise with coraline in her real world were she feels ignored

colour palette two
blue/red
pictures for palette


The Colours in the other world Palette are bright, Radiant and vivid. The Predominant Colours used are shads of Orange and Red which gives it a mood of excitement. This is done to re-enforce the idea that coraline is wanted in the other world. It is a wondrous place for her to be. However we know that this is all part of the other mothers plan to lull her in.

colour palette three
Green/Purple
pictures for palette


The colours in the scenes with the evil other mother are bright, creepy and vivid. The predominant colours used is green and purple, because this has a creepy feel along with the lighting. The director has used these colours to make the room have a contrast to the rest of the house by the end of the film.

Lighting in coraline

this is the work I have done in discussion group. Here is the work.

The lighting in this shot makes the house feel cold, old and run down. This is done by using a ‘cool white’
light coming into the room from a cloudy window. The director has used this lighting to enhance the idea
that coraline's life at home is dull and boring and that she is unhappy there,. It alsos contracts the other
world witch is bright and warmly lit

The lighting used in this shot to make the secan seem warm, exciting and welcoming.
This is done by using a warm light that is coming from the warm, yellow tinted, light bulb from the top of
the shot. The director has used this lighting to make it seem a happy place and it is a place she can feel
safe and have what she wants.

The lighting used in the shot is dark, cold and scary. There is a spot of light where coraline and the door
is. This is done by having a window out of shot to outline the area. The director has used this lighting to
direct the viewer's attention to what is going on. This makes you feel nervous as it is a dark room with
very little light

Government

In social studies we have been learning about Government. This is about the basic structure of the New Zealand.

We have a democratic government meaning that we vote for a certain party, grope of people, to be in charge. We do this every 3 or so years. The current head of state is Queen Elizabeth ll who is represented by Dame Patsy Reddy here in new zealand.

Camera shots

this is another one of my activities to do on coraline. This one was on the camera shots that are used in film.

Me, Paige and Ruby worked on this.


What am I learning?
I am learning about the different types of camera shots in film

How does this show my learning?
This shows my learning because I have taken the pictures that correlate to the term

What am I wondering?
I am wondering how the people came up with the names for the shots
