How is lighting used to enhance a movie

Lighting is used in this shot to make the house feel cold, old and run down. this is done by using a 'cool white' light coming into the room from a cloudy window.
The director has used this lighting to enhance the idea that Coraline's life at home is dull and boring, and she is unhappy there. it also provides contrast to the other world, which is bright and warmly lit

---------

The lighting is used in this shot to, make the house feel warm and more bright and happy unlike the real world from where that is dull and cold, the other house gives off a welcoming vibe, unlike the real house which just feels gloomy and boring.
The lighting from the other house that gives off that nice warm welcoming vibe which comes from a light bulb. Unlike the real world from where the lighting comes from the outside from the cloudy weather.
I think the director did what they did with the lighting so it shows Coraline is happy there in the other world then she is at her real home.

The lighting is used in this shot to make the tunnel feel mysterious and longing to go to the other side and see what's awaiting her on the other side.
The lighting of the tunnel is very bright and vibrant at the top and dark and gloomy at the bottom.
I think the director gave that lighting so it makes the viewer feel more excited to see what happens later on in the movie.
