creating the illusion of the other mother

changes no longer looks human

taller
angrier
body shape changes
clothes get sharper 
more beetle like 
sharp angles


The other mother is wearing boring clothes, soft round curved , colour grey,black,red. shades of orange and yellow. 

Wearing black, red,grey, curves still there lighting the same as the first, clothing style changes.

Sharpness nose,elbows,clothing eyebrows= emotions red,white,black shows more skin.

Way sharper  head, elbows near joints taller,not very human, Skinner,long neck.

The other mother at the very end is thin,spindly, skeletal, skinny,almost no clothes raggedy skin, no skin, made of metal sharp points head get pointy. Shades of green, black, grey, frightening, creepy 

Dull/dim lighting, not a lot of light, feels like dark and creepy.


the director skilfully uses costume ,colour and lighting to create the character of the other mother. 

We see a gradual change in the costume from conservative casual clothes to barley anything near the end. Her clothes also become sharper around the edges and are predominately black with highlights of red. When we first see the other mother warm lighting and use of a yellow/ orange colour pallet make her seem warm and inviting however, by the end the use of a dim lighting and green tones make her seem evil and frightening. These film techniques help us understand the film as a whole because they show us the change from a kind and loving other mother to her true form of an evil spider like soul steeling demon.
