Even before viewing the film, one is aware that it is not a conventional horror. Burton's previous films Beetlejuice and Batman prepare one to expect a film which is visually stunning, perhaps with humour or self-parody. The advance publicity for Edward Scissorhands used the phrase 'the story of an uncommonly gentle man' and posters showed a picture of a sombre Edward with a butterfly perched on one of the sharp blades constituting his hands. Contrasting images such as these reinforce the idea of a mixture of the romance and horror genres. Even without seeing publicity material, the PG certificate and the choice of teen favourites Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder for lead roles evidently suggest that this is a film aimed at the teenage market.

Nobody interacts with the big brother; he is simply an evaluator of behavior. The government’s presence is always felt whether or not it is physically present or not. The security of citizens is augmented due to the fact everyone is exposed to the eye of authority. A chief mechanism used to make certain these ideas are carried out in modern society is the usage of closed-circuit televisions.

Since then, suspense is not just something running from the very beginning to the end through the whole film, rather it would develop along with the ups and downs of the characters, the plot, music, different angles of shooting and a variety of clips. Suspense will develop from strong to weak, then from weak to strong accordingly.
Director Tom Twyker chose to set the introduction of the film out this way as it created similar effect on the audience in comparison to the first paragraph of the book; it made you think to yourself how?
