Tim Burton And Edward Scissorhands
Tim Burton is an American film director, who is best known for directing Beetle juice, Edward Scissorhands, A Nightmare Before Christmas, and various great films. Tim Burton has a unique style used in children’s movie, he uses a lot of gothic and dark themes that can be great for other movies such as the 1989 Batman film or Sweeney Todd both already have a dark setting with them and are great for Burton’s gothic style. Tim Burton’s films are mostly centered around being an outcast, a different person that is not normal, another theme that can be seen is isolation and loneliness, this all can reflect back to Burton who was considered weird as a child and it would make sense to do so.
In the film Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton uses lighting
in the fight scene between Edward and Jim and has one side of jim’s face in a darker tone from lighting to show a darker, more sinister side of a character and to show that “ Not everything Is what it seems to be”. This scene makes the audience feel more tense about what will happen to Edward and Kim. Lighting is a very powerful tool for any director, If done correctly it can show a very in depth view of the character and give them more meaning in the story.
In the film Charlie In The Chocolate, Tim Burton uses a shot-reverse-shot in the scene between Willy Wonka and Mr. Salt to show an awkward Mr. Salt, and Willy Wonka that seems to be hiding something. In this Scene Mr. Salt seems very concerned about Wonka’s being, for he was not seen for many years and they have no idea what he has in store for them. This scene makes the audience feel excited for what is about to happen. Willy Wonka
