Tim Burton uses camera angles and movement to create an intimidating and distressed mood in his films Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Vincent. One example of this is in the scene where a small candy store that sells the heavily desired Wonka Bars is at the verge of opening up and there its a zoom on an enormous crowd that is waiting outside ready to barge in and then a zoom on a little cashier inside the store. The zoom emphasizes how small and petite the cashier is and then emphasizes how huge and wild the massive crowd is. It overwhelms one's mind because there is no way that she will be able to attend to them all and the audience can just hope that the cashier can handle the customers’ demands and manages to give and receive the right

The use of this technique makes the setting seem empowering and cheerful since everyone is expecting more chocolate.

Alfred Hitchcock also used cinematography in a uniquely stylizing way. Hitchcock not only uses the camera to create dramatic irony, but he also uses the camera to lie to the audience and create anxious suspense. For example, in his film Psycho, when Marion is in the shower Hitchcock frames the scenes very tightly. Marion is in a confined and very personal space. This makes her incredibly vulnerable. Then Hitchcock heightens the suspense by creating dramatic irony with the reveal of a shadowy figure closing in on Marion, unbeknownst to her. This creates a lot of anxiety for the audience, knowing the protagonist is vulnerable and in danger with no way of altering the inevitable. Hitchcock then manipulates the audience by “revealing” a brief silhouette of an old lady as our shower killer. Hitchcock uses this “reveal” to lie to the audience, he makes the audience think they have more inside knowledge confirming their already growing suspicions, when in reality the audience is misled entirely and the murderer was Norman all along. The way Hitchcock uses the camera to reveal both inside information and misleading information truly keeps the viewer engaged and not knowing what to believe until the truth is finally revealed. By using this unique technique of controlling the audience by only showing what he wants you to see, Hitchcock masterfully defies expectations and creates suspense.

It is a medium close up but the narrator is only in a small portion of the frame, the rest if a
