1. Bright colors, tacky accessories and heavily patterned furniture and clothing were used in the film to sufficiently show the contrast between Edward and the towns people.
2. The desired effect of music in the background of movies and films are to make the viewer aware of whats going on and to give the moment emotion. A specific time intense music is played in Edward Scissorhands is when a boy named Jim goes to Edwards house to try to kill him.
3. Edwards costume and makeup is creepy, its all black with metal accents while the towns people are covered in neon and busy prints.This costume was probably helpful for Johnny Depp to feel in character because it already sets him apart from the rest of the cast.
4. Tim Burton is showing that the nature of conformity is changing yourself to fit in. Peg immediately tried to cover up his scars and dress him so that people wouldn't judge him.
5.Yes, in one way or another Edward is a tragic character, because he ended up still being secluded from the rest of the town in the end.
6. A highlight of the story was when Ed started to make friends with people and was well- liked. A twist was when the Joyce tried to Sadducee Edward and I'd say a turn in the story was when everything went down-hill after the robbery.
7. Tim Burton often uses the same actors in his films because he's familiar with their style of acting and knows their range. A few actors that appear multiple times in Burton films are Helena Boonhom- Carter, Johnny Depp, and Christopher Lee.
OPINIONS
I thought the film was really good and had a positive message. What I liked the most was the costuming, it was interesting and very well thought out. I also found the set designing was great.
The incident that stuck out the most to me and made me feel strongly was when Jim set Edward up and Edward didn't tell on them, he took the blame and when Edward had trouble getting food into his mouth at dinner on the first night.
Acceptance was the issue the film raised for me and made me wonder if I would be accepting of Edward.
My favorite character is Edward because hes so innocent and kind.
