In the shot with the other Wybie and the other mother, High angle shots were used effectively to show the theme "looks can be deceiving". This is demonstrated through a high angle shot from thee point of view of the Other Mother. She is looking down the front porch steps at a scared other Wybie. This makes the audience feel sorry for Wybie and makes the Other Mother seem powerful. The purpose of this scene was to make the audience think that maybe the Other Mother isn't so nice after all. Combined with the use of lighting, Wybie is in a warm light but surrounded by darkness, The director has created a atmosphere of caution, something is not right. This reminds the viewer of a later scene were Coraline is looking up at the Other Mother in horror as she throws her threw a magical portal into a locked room, this show that looks can be deceiving because the other mother wasnt nice like Coraline first thought.

Mid long shot - Gives a creepy feel to a normal world.
