Assignment #17 Horray for Hollywood Kyree Carpenter

A Director who has always been prevalent throughout my lifetime, and has supplied me with tons of childhood movies would be Tim Burton. Two movies that are especially interesting in my opinion would be Edward Scissorhands and Batman Returns.

The plot development for each movie is definitely satisfactory, but the overall setting for each looked similar. Both movies retained a variety of vibrant colors, and the whole background was composed of varying shapes and patterns. Something I have noticed in both movies is the implementation of stripes, coexisting with repetition of black and white colors. This motif helps develop a feeling of darkness, but a sort of beautiful darkness, as in perhaps there is wonderful things hidden in the mysterious shades within many shots of each movie. Burton also creates suspense, but in a different way. He often surprises the audience with something that was completely unexpected, on top of the typical structure of a story. These are comparisons that I have drawn from Tim Burton these movies, and all in all attribute to his prestige as a director.
