• Gold colour palette for fantasy/Ofelia
• Shadowy blue for Faun/labyrinth

During the King toad scene, the camera wipes between Ofelia’s and Captain Vidal’s story, creating binary opposition between the two.

One form of opposition is how Vidal is in the wide-open woods, whereas Ofelia is in the cramped dark space. She is represented with a high angle shot showing her confidence has grown.

Ofelia is represented in this Alice in Wonderland dress which she then abandons before going into the tree. This shows how she challenges the typical female stereotype, as she gets dirty.  Vidal is in this neat, sharp suit upon a horse keeping it clean, showing he is in control over everyone, however, it also shows his cowardness almost. The smaller space that Ofelia is in shows how her world is a lot smaller, her fantasy world is one of her own, whereas Vidal is in a much bigger more open space
