Checkpoint Charlie

To some, Tim Burton’s works display frightening, abstract images. To Burton, his work represents positivity, “I never really saw them [films] as dark. They always seemed more positive in a way.” People all view objects differently. His fictional films include, Edward Scissorhands, Alice and Wonderland, and Big Fish, along with many others. In these films, Burton uses cinematic techniques that shape the characterization. Tim Burton’s usage of flashbacks, lighting, and color helps develop characterization

The use of editing is very common in Tim Burton films, especially flashbacks. In the movie, “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory,” it is frequent to discern flashbacks of Willy Wonka’s past. Scenes were displayed to express and explain Wonka’s feelings and why the factory exists. In the flashbacks, it shows that Wonka’s father was a dentist, and the young Willy Wonka’s love for sweets, which caused a complication between them. His love for sweets led him to create a factory that manufactured different

Just when I think I have figured out life, life changes. Where we you when life change? Let me tell you about a boy I knew. It was 2013 this boy sat down with his family to watch an episode of America’s Got Talent (AGT). The first contestant was a 16-year-old magician. The boy watched the magician nervously walk to the judges borrow a dollar and make it disappear by the aid of fire and then made it reappear in a bag of popcorn that was across the stage. At that moment, surrounded thunderous

In this television commercial by Apple, the Cookie monster tests his patience by leaving chocolate chips cookies to bake for 14 minutes. He uses the ‘Hey Siri’ feature on his Iphone 6s to time it. He has a tough time waiting and finding something to do over those 14 minutes (he plays puppets using his oven mitts, he reads a book, and he eats his spoon) so eventually he asks Siri how much time is left. Siri reveals to him that only 51 seconds have passed and he grunts in frustration. I believe that

Peach” that were a hit but he also makes movies which use a variety of cinematic techniques in every movie. Tim Burton effectively uses variety of cinematic techniques to evoke emotion in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, and Edward Scissorhands. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is about Charlie and five golden tickets that will allow him to go glimpse inside the world of confectionaries. In the beginning Tim Burton uses camera movement on the town to

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

the characters and to understand the mood in each scene. Sound communicates the mood, and cues characters or the next scene and the emotion that would be experienced by the characters. The use of non-diegetic sound in each scene of Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory conveys the emptiness and cramped feeling of the mood. Sounds of the narrator’s commentary at the beginning of the film not only introduces

situation. Burton uses long shots to show the vulnerability of the characters which makes the audience fear for their safety. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Burton uses the long shot to show the Wonka Factory. By doing so, the viewers understand the factory is a very outcast place; no one goes in and comes back out. Tim Burton also uses a long shot while Charlie is walking to the factory. Using a long shot here worries the viewers because they see a young, little boy with his old, fragile

follow a similar concept. The unimportance of fitting in is acheieved through Tim Burton’s unique cinematic styles. Tim Burton uses lighting techniques to acheive the unimportance of of fiiting in. Burton uses light to distinguish characters. In Charlie and The Chocolate Factory viewers may notice that Willy Wonka is incredibly pale compared to other characters. This has the purpose of showing that Willy Wonka is much different. Throughout the movie Willy Wonka acts socially awkward as if he hasn’t

people. One way Burton used shots and framing is in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when a close up shot is on Willie Wonka. When Wonka is showing the kids the factory the close up shot emphasizes that he’s different. Burton makes Wonka look like a bad person because in the film there’s also a close up of the animatronics burning and catching on fire. Wonka looks bad because there’s a mood of being a bad person. At the end of the movie, after Charlie is the
