Tim Burton Cinematic Analysis

Like in his movie Beatlejuice he uses close ups when Barbra and her husband got taken out of the ghost world and put back into the human world but they were dying and it showed a close up on their faces when they were dying and turning really old. Another example is from his movie Edward Scissorhands when Edward was tricked into breaking into Jim’s house and the alarm goes off and he gets locked into a room it zooms in on Edward’s face to show that he is scared and terrified. Close ups make sure that the audience know the intensity of the scene and is knowing of how the character

In the movie of Tim Burton, he uses many different kinds of cinematic techniques, which are shots and framing, camera angles, camera movements, lighting, editing techniques, and sound. In order to set up the mood and tone in the story, he uses those cinematic techniques in the movie. Tim Burton style are more of a dark and delightful childhood experience and that he embraces the dark elements. The movie that Tim’s famous for, have those styles and elements in it. For example, the movie Vincent has element that are dark and a childhood imagination story.

All movies of Tim Burton have something in common, in all his movies some of the girls’ characters have pancake white makeup, black eyes, spirals and stripes. In the three movies I saw, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride he uses flashbacks to his sad candy-free past, in Corpse Bride Emely sings about her nasty death, in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Willy Wonka has more than one flashback showing how and why he wanted to make a Chocolate Factory and his

Each cat’s relevance to the story are different but the result of the story is similar. Pitty Sing was mentioned only in the beginning and near the end of the story. Pluto played a huge role through half of the story before his owner killed him. Pitty Sing was talked about why he was going on the trip, in the beginning, because he was important to the grandmother. The next and last time Pitty Sing was relevant to the story was a key part, near the end, when he caused the car to flip over.

Like in his film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when the trucks were being loaded with boxes and everything was grey except the trucks. Also, when the winners were about to enter the Factory and the factory was grey on the outside but when you walked in it was colorful. Another one of his films that used low lighting was Edward Scissorhands when the castle was grey and dark, but the other houses were colorful and bright. In Alice and Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts castle was grey and scary on the outside, but her soldiers were bright red and the good queen’s castle was white. There were not only lighting techniques though, there were a lot of flashbacks.

How Snow White was put into her deep sleep is not the same, but has one key similarity. The Grimm brothers had multiple attempts to kill her, a comb, laces, a half poisoned apple. The apple is in both stories, but in the Grimm brothers only half of it is poised so that the stepmother can eat half to show that it’s not poisoned. To save Snow White the apple had to be removed from her throat, and there are two ways this is said to have happened. One was true loves first kiss, the prince found her in the forest and just had to kiss her which somehow got the apple out of her throat.

Edward is dying in bed and as the actor is much larger than the actor who plays Edward 's son, there needed a way to make him looks sick other than make-up. Therefore, the angels come into play, as well as the surroundings. With a high angel, his son standing up, and laying in a larger bed, Edward looks weak. As another example, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when the people who won the golden ticket are walking into the gate of the factory. In this case, Burton wanted to make the winners look smaller and the factory look ginormous.

One night Ponyboy goes out with his buddies Johnny and Dally were they sneak into a drive in movie, where they see 2 girls. Ponyboy starts talking to one of the girls cherry who tells him”things are rough all over.”(35) Ponyboy doesn't believe this though because he thinks money can solve all their problems. Cherry was trying to tell ponyboy that everyone has problems even ones he has never heard of before. This didn't make sense to Ponyboy yet. After running from the police when johnny stabbed Bob a soc they find themselves in an abandoned church.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(Charlie) was a children 's story that Tim Burton adapted and turned it into a slightly darker story than the one we knew. In the movie many characters are put into situations that are comical, but would in real life end in death. One such moment would be when a girl named Vurka Salt is thrown into an incinerator pit by squirrels who deem her a bad nut, as she tips over the edge of the pit the audience is given one last look at her fearful face. The situation is on the surface is a harmless joke about how the girl is a selfish brat who needs discipline. Strangely at the same time it seemed as if one of the characters was killed for being a bad person.

Also, the movie “Corpse Bride” had a flashback that revealed how the Corpse Bride became dead and how she didn’t really trust Victor due to her betraying fiancé. This told the audience her background and how she ended up in the world of the dead. Finally, he uses flashback in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” when Willy Wonka was explaining where he got the Oompa Loompas from. This made both the characters in the movie and the audience understand why there were people working in his factory when he said that he was the only one in there for
