1. a) In the film, the use of color was essential. The crazy coloring wasn't just for appeal, it helped convey a message.
1. b) The effect of the color could have been used to show the contrast between Edward and the neighborhood, just how much he doesn't blend with the rest of society.
2.) The background music while the woman was driving up to the house on the hill sounded eerie. It added drama and suspense to the scene. The music in the scene where the inventor dies conveys the sadness and desperation that Edward felt. Also, the music in the scene where Edward and Kim say goodbye, you were able to feel the strong emotions.
3.) The costume designs played a big role, over all in the film. Edward was a simple character and his style of dress showed. The neighborhood dressed extravagantly in bright, flashy colors. It helped show the primary differences between Edward and the rest of the society, before the rest of the story began to unfold.
4.) Tim Burton conveys his views on societal conformity clearly through the film. The characters looked ridiculous with their colors, while Edward was simply dressed, which protrayed the person he was. The visual imagery helped make the theme boldly noticable.
5.) Edward could be considered a tragic figure, if you look at the film in a general sense. But, in a way Edward triumphed, he found love. To him, it made going back to the castle worthwhile, to know that Kim loved him. For him, that was enough. Finding love isn't a tragedy.
6.) My favorite part of the film was when Edward was first adapting to living with the Boggs. It envelopes how tough growing up can be. A sometimes difficult and frightening time.
7.) Tim Burton consistenly works with Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman and Helena Bonham Carter. This would be important for a director creatively because they would have a sense of what the film could turn out to be like. A sense of the kind of work an actor does and what roles and characters they could best fit into.
