In the scene with the Other Mother and the Other Whybie we see high angle shots used to show the theme 'looks can be deceiving' We see this when the Other mother ask the Other Whybie to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. This make the audience feel sorry for Other Whybie because he looks scared. The use of a high angle shot from the perspective of the Other Mother adds to this feeling as it makes the Other Whybie look week and wearable. The director did this to foreshadow the change of the Other Mother from creepy to more creepy. Coinciding with this is the use of lighting. A spotlight is on the Other Whybie emphasizing that that he is under the focus of the Other Mother. This reminds us earlier in the film where a low angle shot was just ordinary. This links to the scene because it also shows a moment when the look of a character was deceiving
