These cinematic techniques help the audience be more engaged. In tim burton's movie, they all have these 3 cinematic techniques that help us be entertained into his movies. Moreover, one cinematic technique that Tim Burton uses that is similar in all his movies are all the suspicious sounds that appear in scene that make people very curious of what will happen next. For example on the Edward movie, the music gets louder and suspenseful when Edward scratched the girl’s boyfriend in the face. The music helps the audience question what will happen next and be more curious about it. Also, on the big fish movie, the music got louder when the dad found his true love’s house. As he was walking up to it, the music would get louder. This made the audience become more engaged to the scene. Finally, on the charlie and the chocolate factory, each time a kid would disappear, the similar, loud sound was used in this movie as it was in the …show more content…
He usually uses the zoom in. This technique was used in the Big fish movie when the dad first saw his true love. The zoom in helped Ed to see his reaction to when he saw the girl. Another movie that this was in was the edward movie, edward had the same reaction to when he first saw the girl that he liked. The zoom in was used which helped us get an idea of what edward was feeling at the time. Lastly, the last movie, in Charlie and the Chocolate family, the zoom in was used to see Charlie and all the other kids reaction to when they first came in and saw the factory. This showed us that the kids were surprised and amazed when they saw the chocolates and all other sweets. Burton uses zoom in to show the audience what the characters reaction or expression
Tim Burton also uses great Lighting to make Edward look like shouldn't be there, for example, it shows Edward cramped into a small car and with bright colors in the background. In the scene where they enter Edwards garden it seem so beautiful up close, but like hell far away because its very dark over there, then when it enters back into the house it seems like it would be from a horror movie. And the make up on his face makes it more fit with the lighting because of the scars with his pale white face and his crazy black hair.
Edward stares at the images of Kim before turning to look at Peggy talk and then gazes back at them again. The way he can’t stop looking at her indicates how Edward admires the young girl. When Peggy starts chatting about how Kim went to the high school prom with her boyfriend, Edward is in a world of his own. He concentrates on her face in the picture of the couple at their prom. Edward gazes at her pictures like she is the most fascinating person ever. Since Edward lived in the mansion with the inventor and unaccompanied for so long it is interesting to see his reaction to Kim. Furthermore, his infatuation with Kim just after seeing her pictures goes to confirm how isolated he is from
The sounds and camera angles of this film are the key to the feeling of suspense. The sounds of the violin make up most of the soundtrack for Psycho. Although the soundtrack is very repetitive and slightly annoying, it gives you a sense of anticipation when it played throughout the movie. The screeching violins are always played when you least expect them to, catching you off guard. As said by Alfred Hitchcock, ?There is no terror in the bang, only the anticipation of it.? The camera angles also play an important role in this movie. When Lila, Marion?s sister, goes to find Mrs Bates and talk to her, it seems to take Lila forever just to reach the house, with the camera switching back and forth from her face, then to the door.
Tim Burton’s films depict his lashing back from a tortured childhood. Somehow, his movies tell his story. His first big budget movie, Batman, was a huge hit. He then chose to make Edward Scissorhands, his most personal film. Despite the fact that Batman was a hit, movie executives were reluctant to give Burton authorization. His use of cinematic techniques displays his unique style.
One of the techniques used to promote fear and suspense into the audience is the use of the music. This technique makes the audience afraid of the shark, whenever the theme song is played the audience is to expect another horrific attack from the deadly shark, which adds a lot of suspense and build-up to the scences following. Spielberg uses this particular sound to build-up the scene, such as in the beginning when the shark attacks the girl swimming. Spielberg uses this non-diegetic sound which is only heard by the audience, not by any of the characters in the film. A non-diegetic sound defined by film sound says, a sound neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be prese...
A person does not usually pay attention to cinematic techniques used in a film because one does not think of the details in the movie. These details are a key part in creating the mood and tone. Tim Burton uses similar techniques in his movies to create a suspenseful mood. Many instances of low key lighting were used to create a suspenseful mood. Along with low key lighting, low and high camera angles were used to show authority and importance. Lastly, non-diegetic sound was used to create a dramatic effect while still making the mood suspenseful.
wealthy Hollywood director. Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland are examples of Burton movies that the characters have to go through challenging obstacles to find their triumph. Burton uses low angles and high key lighting in Charlie and the Chocolate factory and in Alice in Wonderland to emphasize that positive attitude affects a person’s fortune.
Indisputably, Tim Burton has one of the world’s most distinct styles when regarding film directing. His tone, mood, diction, imagery, organization, syntax, and point of view within his films sets him apart from other renowned directors. Burton’s style can be easily depicted in two of his most highly esteemed and critically acclaimed films, Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Burton ingeniously incorporates effective cinematic techniques to convey a poignant underlying message to the audience. Such cinematic techniques are in the lighting and editing technique categories. High key and low key relationships plus editing variations evinces the director’s elaborate style. He utilizes these cinematic techniques to establish tone mood, and imagery in the films.
Zooming causes the audience to stare at the fix point, the note, compressing the world in the suspense of the scene. This scene ends with a fade cut, fading into black and returning from black. This creates the suspense that lets the audience know that something climactic will take place. This setting shows how as Jeff continues to piece together the puzzle, his case for Mrs. Thorwald’s murder becomes more inescapable, and eventually, Lisa and Stella become Jeff’s confidants.
The movies Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, and Big fish, are all examples of how he uses different cinematic techniques to make dramatic events to keep the audience interested. He uses a series of sound, lighting, as well as shots and framing. Burton works with camera angles to expand scenes. In the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when the five golden ticket winners and their parents are looking up at the factory is an example of a low angle. It shows how intimidating the factory is.
Another audio technique employed is that of silence. During the second raid in the film, no audio is featured, encouraging the audience to respond with a sense of suspense. These are just a few ways audio has been used to influence the response of audience members towards each separate scene as well as the movie as a
Sound also draws attention to specific scenes and can cue expectations of what will occur. The sound viewers hear first is that of thunder and rain. The external sound is both accessible to characters within the scene and the audience. Although the rain and thunder are unnoticeable viewers can presume that the weather is rainy outside which explains the minimal lighting coming through the windows. Lionel stomping up the stairs, the sound of jacks, and the chewing as the three young boys eat are all examples of diegetic sounds which appear natural. By using diegetic sound viewers perceive the story as more realistic because it places the audience within that scene. The use of the recorder and orchestra music is also important because it adds drama to the scene. When Susy picks up her book the loudness of the music increases which intensified the scene to make it appear more dramatic. As Susy opens the curtains again the music gets louder, the combination of music and camera distance in this shot hint that perhaps Susy saw something of importance through her
In the film, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, every time there was a close up of Augustus Gloop in the candy room, sinister music would play. This foreshadowed that something bad was going to happen to him in that room. It puts the viewer on edge and creates a mood of suspense because they don’t know what is going to happen. He also uses music to foreshadow events in the movie Edward Scissorhands. Every time Edward saw Kim happy, angelic music would play which foreshadowed that something would happen between them and also gave you a hint about his feelings towards her. Burton used music to show foreshadowing in the movie Dark Shadows as well. When Josette was walking toward the edge of the cliff suspenseful music played create a mood of suspense and fear that Barnabas wouldn’t make it in time and she would fall to her death. One of the many other cinematic techniques Burton often uses in his films is using lighting and color to show
As an audience we are manipulated from the moment a film begins. In this essay I wish to explore how The Conversation’s use of sound design has directly controlled our perceptions and emotional responses as well as how it can change the meaning of the image. I would also like to discover how the soundtrack guides the audience’s attention with the use of diegetic and nondiegetic sounds.
...te the mood and feeling that he wants from the film. In The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo sound effects are used in a very subtle manner to motivate large pieces of the plot. For example, in the scene when Martin Vanger allows Mikael into his house and treats him to wine and dinner, a constant whistling of wind can be heard until Martin eventually gets up and closes the door, allowing Martin’s mistress to reveal that nobody knows that she is there, and thus giving Martin the ability to kill her. This sound effect returns later at a very pivotal point in the story when Mikael breaks into Martin’s house to find evidence, and is caught by Martin because Martin hears the whistling of the open door and goes to close it. It is this kind of attention to detail that causes Fincher’s films to be so articulately entertaining, yet also extremely deep and important to his time.
