there was a very interesting use of color.The characters were all developed in an interesting way.
The emotions on the people were always very well apparent from one person being very involved with their lawn gnome collection to someone wanting to find someone else.

The movie had a slow-moving plot but this was a good thing because it allowed for character development within the movie. It had many aspects that allowed for it to work more into detail in terms of character development and to show better use of costumes and it needed to keep the viewers interested. The use of lighting was perfectly placed, The use of sound had no mistakes. The movie had perfect choreography for its fight scenes. Also well placed were the scenes where they progressed storyline, there was never even a scene where the lighting was a little bad. There was always even a little bit of suspense during the movie.

Guillermo Del Torro interview

Del Toro puts much thought into the monsters that he creates. He takes concepts from visual art, literature and his real life experiences. Sometimes he uses concepts that he received from dreams or even just ideas that pop into his head. At times he would use Real life creatures for example one of the creatures in Pan's labyrinth was based off of the manta ray. Some creatures were based on insects because insects have strong exoskeleton causing them to in some ways mirror warriors. This gave them a sort of poetic strength. Also, in The devil's backbone the monster always appears in front of the children and no one else because when he was younger he would always see a monster in a lucid dream so he for a long time thought that monsters were real. Which he later in his life was quoted as saying that this is part of what let him keep his sanity.
