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 legging and red shoes. This gradually changes over the course of the film.Her  head becomes less round and more pointy more pointy, her clothes become darker and she exposes more skin.By the end of the film he 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.

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 fee happy and safe . By the end of the film scene with the other mother are dimly lit with a cold light and green and black colour pallet. This is because she has turned into her real self. a demon -like spider who is evil and tries to steal children souls through their eyes.
