In Coraline, camera angles and shots are used effectively to show the theme of looks can be deceiving.
We see this when we are coming out of the circus in the “other” world, this is a low angle shot in a warm looking setting where the “parents” of the “other” world look quite friendly although they are not. This is an example of looks that can be deceiving. Also pictured in this setting we are enclosed between close walls creating a feeling of claustrophobia hence making the scene quite confusing as it is both friendly and quite devious as well.
We notice that the “other” dad is trying to tell us something but he seems to not be able to, this is a close up dutch tilt shot with a dark background resembling the night sky outside. The dad looks whack as and his face is really long and messed up. He’s stretching his face for some reason and unsure why as I’m going off research rather than the movie because I did not have the opportunity to watch it.
