The non-diegetic sounds that were used in the movie were sounds that signify that someone has feelings for another and/or are falling in love with them. Non-diegetic sounds were a main part of adding to the romance feeling of Edward Scissorhands. A few of the many non-diegetic sounds were used during the snow scene while Edward was making an ice sculpture of Kim during the season of Christmas. When Kim saw the "snow" that was falling from making Warner 2 from the ice sculpture, she had noticed how special Edward was to her. She admired the little amount of snow that Edward was making that she was dancing around in it.
The lighting, costumes or settings can make ur think about a character differently. Edward is on the light side but he is almost stuck on the dark side because that is where almost all of the townspeople think that he belongs. Edward is stuck in the middle. His costume, hairstyle and his scissors for hands, which people perceive them to be weapons, make him look like a gothic demon but really he would never intestinally hurt anyone. In the last scene he tries to save Kevin, and does by pushing him away from the van but in the process cuts his face, everyone thinks that Edward is attacking Kevin and Jim beats him up.
The quote “its not your fault”, repeated by Sean are strong words trying to get into Will’s head that his past is not his fault. The camera slowly zooms in on Will’s face showing his aggravation at the words, “Its not your fault”, and he lashes out at Sean. Finally when Will realises the truth that it’s not his fault, he breaks down into Sean’s opens arms and cries at this point. Music shows the acceptance of the truth. Similarly in the novel “Pog”, when the little monster wakes up and realises he got through a whole night without a bad dream of humans, he realises that humans aren’t as scary as he first expected.
When he uses close ups it really helps convey the emotions on people’s faces when they are sad, angry, happy, ECT. In Edward Scissor Ha It can let the audience know if what the characters are reacting to what someone says or does. In the film during the flashback scene of the factory it used close ups to show the faces on all the machines and also how happy the inventor was. Another example is when Jim locked Edward in the house. He used close ups to show how scared Edward was when the alarm was going off and also close ups on his hands when he’s trying to open the door but can’t.
That forced a few changes in Brett’s behavior and lifestyle but in the end nothing prevailed. This next text I am about to speak about is also a very good example of institutions, where as the “prison farm” I spoke of earlier this text which is named “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest” Directed by Milos Forman in 1975 is about a mental hospital but the man sent there ( Jack Nicholson ) finds the head nurse a lot more dangerous than the inmates themselves. Randle Patrick McMurphy ( Jack Nicholson ) thinks he can get out of doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plans are rapidly backfired when he is sent a “mental asylum”. He tries to liven the place up on his arrival by playing card games and playing basketball with his fellow inmates, but the head nurse is after him at every turn.
It seems the director shies a way from anything other than a Eye-Level Shot. One of the few times he uses a High-Angle shouts is when Peg is climbing the stairs at the castle up to Edwards’s room. This shot mainly server to show her moving up stairs by not focusing on her face, with a little of it put aside to show she was a tad bit scared about going to a place she has never been. Long-Shots are used when Peg first enters and meets Edward in his room and throughout the movie to show how isolated and distanced he is from the rest of the world. But as the movie progresses Edward becomes part of the community and change starts to take shape, the Long-Shot is used less and less, as he becomes closer to society.
He didn’t believe in free love and didn’t think the concept of marriage was out-dated. During his directing position at the asylum, Lewis learns a lot about love, fidelity and the patients. He learns that Lucy isn’t all that faithful to him when he finds out that she is having an affair with his friend, Nick. Although he was upset, devastated and angry about Lucy being unfaithful, he wasn’t completely faithful to her. When there is a power outage in the play “Cosi”, Julie and Lewis kiss.
Mayella tries to kiss Robinson, but he tries as gently as he can to get away from her. Then, Robert Ewell, Mayella’s father, peaks his head inside the house to see what is going on and Robinson fled because he was scared of Mr. Ewell. After Robinson fled, the
Similar to Peter Skryznecki’s writing, the film identifies both feelings of exclusion and affiliation. Again the characterisation of Max is a strong influence of this theory. Max feels a strong disconnection with his home, due to his feelings of being misunderstood and out of place; he strives for affection and understanding. His house to him is merely an empty shell where he feels he cannot connect. Through the use of soft lighting, low digetic sound and low camera angles within the ‘fort scene’, contrasted with the laughing of his mother and her boyfriend, highlights Max’s will and determination to belong to a certain place.
“’Scout, I think I’m beginning to understand something. I think I’m beginning to understand why Boo Radley’s stayed shut up in the house all this time… it’s because he wants to stay inside’”(227). This proves that Boo stays inside so he can stay away from the prejudiced town, but he faces that fear and always finds a way to make Jem and Scout stay safe and feel happy. Additionally, when Bob Ewell attacks the children, Boo shows up to help them and attack Bob himself, kills him in result. “All he wanted to do was to get him and his sister safely home’” (275).
