Tim Burton is a genius in using color, lighting, and music to create a fantasy-like, unrealistic mood.His films often capture the attention of his viewers and keeps them intrigued. Tim Burton uses a variety of colors to create many different kinds of moods.For example, in the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the television room is painted completely white to give a more technology based science fiction feel.Even Willy's employee's who work in the room are dressed in white.From what I watched, in the movie Edward Scissorhands the neighborhood that all the characters live in, have their houses painted a pastel color.This gives the neighborhood an innocent look.Burton is known for his excellent use of color and does a significant job at deciding what colors to select so it helps create the mood.
