----------

The director effectively uses costume to create the other mother at the start to look like any other normal mother, She is wearing a white long sleeved turtle neck with black leggings 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, and 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.

Colour and lighting are important in creating the other mother. When we first see her its a warm lighting with shades 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 into her real self a demon-like spider who is evil and tries to steal children's souls through their eyes.
