During the film Steve Spielberg uses music, a mysterious shark and camera techniques such as simultaneous track and zoom, long shot, close up shots and medium shots to build suspense, tension and scare the audience.

“The director Tim Burton wages a valiant battle to show us new and wonderful things. In a Hollywood that placidly recycles the same old images, Burton uses special effects and visual tricks to create sights that have never been seen before.”-Roger Ebert. This is true, Tim Burton uses a variety of cinematic techniques such as lighting, music and sound, and even camera angles to display the mood of a scene and the characters in it that the audience can understand and even relate to on a more personal level.

In these films, Steven Spielberg uses hard lighting and two shot close ups to show different emotions of the characters. For example, in the film Jaws he uses a hard lighting to show that Brody is happy. The shark in the movie killed 5 people. The town mayor and police chief were having a conflict, because the

The well-known director Tim Burton is famous for his creepy yet kid friendly films. A few popular movies being, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, and Charlie and the Chocolate factory. He strongly conveys tone and mood in each of these films to keep an audience engaged and sympathetic. Tim Burton uses many cinematic techniques to have an affect on the audience.

These film techniques are extremely beneficial to the making of this documentary as they help the viewer have a higher understanding of the subject, creates an effective outlook and have a more interesting

The first cinematic technique that stands out to me is music. Music in movies really can do a lot to change the tone and mood. In the movie “ Edward Scissors Hands “ (made in 1990) The music is everything. For example in one part of the movie the girl is dancing under the snow, they play a happy song that enlightens the mood. But Edward accidentally cuts her hands then the song stops and a dark dramatic song starts to play. Changing the mood from happy

What was truly amazing is the fact that the two dogfights that they have in the movie, with over twenty fighter jets in the first fight scene as well as over 50 in the second fight, this was all done with only one fighter jet on hand being shot at multiple angles and shots doing various maneuvers as well as using other models used in the background when a close up shot of the pilot was not necessary (Film School 16).

By using this type of editing to include slow motion, the editing expanded chronological time. By expanding chronological time the events of the scene are dragged out so the viewer can see every element and detail of the scene.
