Mise-en-scene is the language of films

Mise-en-scene is the language of filmsIt is vital to understand the meaning of Mise-en-scene before describing it in both movie. Mise-en-scene is basic eithery a French word, which in English means place into the scene. In short, Mise-en-scene is the language of films through which the viewer is capable to gather and rip relative information. It helps in showing the viewer, about what is tone ending on in the film, the motives, and most importantly it helps conveying the film makers message.Tim Burton however, has a very typical style in filmmaking, considering the use of various elements of Mise-en-scene in almost all of his films, especially Edward cuthands in 1990. Tim Burton has his own imagination of good and bad people, which take up nothing to do with appearance, for him they could be very misleading. In Edward cut hands, after(prenominal) looking at Edward maven can easily mistake it with a horror film and that Edward is some cold blooded monster, just because of hi s whip garments and his scissor hands, his appearance is deceiving. Behind the clothes, the mad face full of cuts, desire sharp scissors and messy hair, there is a child with authenticated goodness who can be trusted.Jhonny Depp, who played the character of Edward in Edward Scissorhands, has signally carried out the roll, just as Tim Burton would have wanted him to. Due to his playing skills, the viewing audience were able to sympathize with the character. His expressions showed the viewers how innocent and well unnatural Edward was. Behind that horrible attire there laid a heart, which needful some love and care. Whereas, Tim Burton, in order to give the audience the decently idea of the main character, other than the acting skills, costume and make up, has ably used the camera angles, lighting etc.But that completely depends on the role that has been chosen for the actors. For instance, in Sweeny Todd, again Jhonny Depp, who played the role of Sweeny Todd himself, was w hite, pale and lacked a lot of sunlight. Other than sunlight, just after one coup doeil anyone could easily tell that he is deprived of life and something terrible has had happened with him. In this movie, he lived up to his getup He looked evil, and he was evil. The track Tim Burton makes Jhonny Depp fit up, wear his costume, and the makeup itself is Mise-en-scene, which is very either fascinating or unexpected. It is ever so a mystery after looking at the character, what the movie would be about or what role would the actor be playing. When it comes to manipulating the audiences attention, Tim Burton is always one step ahead.Further more, Tim Burton usually uses contrasting color. Colors also play a high role in his Mise-en-scene which he easily uses for manipulation. For example, in Edward Scissor hands, the mansion where Edward lives and the mountain on which the mansion is are set in a good-for-nothing grayish shade with glum clouds above, which strongly contrasts to th e pastel color in of the suburban area below. This is also seen in the dress code of the people. Edward wears black leather clothes and even later he dresses up in black and white while the others dress up in slow pastels and look too colorful. Since black is denoted for evil, at first glance the viewers mistake Edward for being evil, his Scissorhands complimenting his image. If Edward was dressed up in pastel colors too, the image would have never been able to be achieved.The manipulating spot comes in, deal already mentioned the suburbs were of pastel colors and so were the people, which are very guiltless colors yet the people living in there were more malevolent than the black and white, monster like looking Edward with his terrifying scissor hands. The colorful people kept on taking advantage of Edward and as soon as they had enough of him, the abandoned him. Moreover, the contrast between residents of the suburb and Edward is maintained throughout the movie, denoting eve ry time no matter what Edward does, he shall always remain an outsider.Similarly in Sleepy Hollow, again the colors have enhanced the mood of the film, straight away hinting the viewers what mixed bag of a movie it would be. Tim Burton was able to keep his audiences engaged by the way he was able to create dramatic effects by desaturated colors, victimization dark colors with splashes of grey, red, white and other bold colors. Which immediately tangle oppressive and created a feeling of tension and anyone could tell that the movie is going to be quite unpleasant.In the film, the town of Sleepy Hollow is shown gloomy, dark and lifeless. Even the colors of trees and the landscapes are shown in a cool grey color. That represented the people living there, and how they were feeling with the mishaps going on in their hometown. In fact, the clothes worn by many people in the town are also oppressive and dark except for the avant-garde Tassel family, who rather believed in wearing refine d and elegant clothes. The eye- catching part were the clothes Katrina always wore, mostly bright colors perhaps, reflecting her youth and sinlessness which could not be seen anywhere else in the town. I believe by using bright colors on Katrina and using contrasting backgrounds against her, Tim Burton was able to catch the viewers interest.
