Tim Burton is one of the most unusual and unique directors of our time. He brings characters to life by putting them in a habitat they don’t belong. His movies “Alice in Wonderland”, “The Corpse Bride”, “Charlie and the chocolate factory”, and “Edward Scissorhands” all demonstrate how one of a kind his movies are. Using cinematic techniques, Tim Burton points out the misfit character and shows how different they are then everyone else. His use of camera angles, lighting, and sound give the viewers a different perspective on the movies, and help pick out the individual character.

Inspired by Roald Dahl and Vincent Price, director Tim Burton is easily one of the most remarkable and creative directors of his generation. Burton has a unique and individual way of challenging the minds of viewers and attracting individuals to his films, and has been using this technique for over 30 years. His ways persuade the audience to change the mood they have toward the film. In the films Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, and Big Fish Director Tim Burton uses cinematic and editing techniques such as lighting, sound, and flashbacks in order to enhance the mood and feelings of viewers.

“With this hand, I will life your sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine”. She walks into the chapel and sees the couple telling each other their wedding vows. Little does she know this day will be the worst and best of her life. In almost all films directed by Tim Burton include dark colors and choral music. This is what bonds cinematic techniques and mise en scène. Burton’s unique style includes the use of lighting and mise en scène to convey that self-discovery is important in developing an interesting outlook on life.

Tim Burton is the director behind a lot of well-known movies in the cinema. Most of it have a special effect of dark, mysterious, complicated feeling for the audience that linger for a long time. After Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, and Big Fish, it is proven how talented Mr. Burton is in driven the audience mood anywhere possible and impossible without any notices. Tim Burton movies have a unique style because he uses elements that both contrast and complement each other like fairy tales, dark and grotesque elements.

Many fans and critics have praised Tim Burton for his cinematic works. Many would credit his fan base and success to his different and twisted sense of reality which stemmed from a childhood obsession with monster movies. However I would argue that his success stems from his masterful use of cinematic elements and techniques such as lighting sound along with camera movement and angles. Cinematic elements work side by side with literary elements to create emotion in a motion pictures audience. Evidence of Tim Burton’s mastery of these elements can be found in any of his works such as Batman, and Planet of the Apes, however some of the best examples are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, and Corpse Bride.

Tim Burton isn’t slowing down in producing wacky, creepy, and freaky films, and his life-long friend Danny Elfman, a Grammy and Emmy winning composer is always partnering up with him. Point taken: where Burton goes, Elfman goes. Now that it marks the 30th anniversary of their absolutely brilliant teamwork, the Lincoln Center Festival is presenting Danny Elfman’s Music from the Films of Tim Burton throughout July 6 – July 12.

As a whole, Tim Burton’s artistic style in his films has a had a long-time reputation of being strange, eerie, and dark. “Tim Burton defined a whole other genre of films. He creates Gothic, dark films with sinister atmosphere.” (McMahon). Some of his most famous works in the area include Frankenweenie, Nightmare Before Christmas, and the Corpse Bride.

Tim Burton uses many cinematic techniques in his tales to help create his dismal yet whimsical stories. Some of these techniques are eye level angle, low angle, and high angle. The use of these three camera angles can create different moods of feelings within a plot. For example, eye level can create a feeling of being the center of attention because the shot only shows you. Also low angle can show a feeling of power because it can make smaller figure look bigger. Lastly high angle can do the opposite if Low angle by making the audience or a character feel small by comparing them to a huge scene. These terms help create Tim Burton’s grim and fanciful fairy tales.

The auteur theory states that a film expresses the individual characteristics and styles of a director, as noted with David Cronenberg’s films. Burton always brings a certain type of dark quirkiness to the films he is a part of (whether he is directing, screenwriting or producing). According to Tim Burton’s biography from Biography.com, he was a fan of Roger Corman’s classic horror films.

Tim Burton is a director who takes pride into his precious work. Burton’s films, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, and Alice in Wonderland, use cinematic techniques that show his personal style. His style is joyful as in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when Charlie wins the ticket, funny like Edward Scissorhands in the scene when Edward is greeted in the new town and he does not know how to act normal for the people, and a bit unusual in Alice in Wonderland when Alice had fallen into the tree. Most of Burton’s work is slow, shady, and has hand-molded characters that move with multiple picture screens, which make viewers easily depict they are his. The secret to his work always has the audience seeking for more. Tim Burton’s extraordinary and unique work stands out among the best fantasy films in America’s motion pictures.

Many people want to be different from others, but in reality, only some people stand out in the real world. Tim Burton was one of those people, he was not normal compared to his classmates and the children around him, which made him unique. Burton’s upbringing helped create his own style of directing. In his movies, by using characterization and visualization helps convey that the abnormal is preferable to the status quo.

In this painting by Tim Burton, our eyes are immediately drawn to the large, red spiral connected to a large down facing arrow. I choose this picture, due to Tim’s excellent use of the principal of Focal point. He has used his principal of design to make this painting more complex by adding two other elements, Colour and Lines. Tim’s focal point has been careful made by the bright and bold colour choice of red. Whereas the the organic spiral in the centre of the painting recreates the sense of confusion and loneliness in which the real focus / subject of the painting might be feeling.
