How does the director use costume to create the other mother? The director effectively uses costume to create the other mother. At the start she is dressed like a normal mother. She is wearing a white long sleeved turtle neck, black tagging and red shoes. This gradually changes over the course of the film. Her head becomes less round and more pointy, her clothes become darker and exposes more skin. By the end of the film her costume is more spider like. Her body is a metal skeleton with lots of sharp angles and her clothes are black rags. The director has done this to show us that the other mother is evil and that her looks were deceiving.

How do colour and lighting affect out view of the other mother?  When we fist see her its a warm lightning with shapes of yellow and orange. this makes the viewer feel happy and safe.By the end of the film scenes with the other mother are dimly lit with a cold light and green and black colour palette. This is because she has turned in her real self, a demon - like spider who is evil and tries to steal children souls through their eyes. 

'It's easier to catch flies with honey than with vinegar' - how does the other mother embody this saying?
