Movie review: Corpse Bride

Corpse Bride


Quick movie Bio: 

When a shy groom practices his wedding vows in the inadvertent presence of a deceased young woman, she rises from the grave assuming he has married her.

Stop Motion techniques: 

Camera angle:
Burton enjoys employing point-of-view shots quite often in his films. This technique is demonstrated most clearly in one of his breakout early successes, “Edward Scissorhands” starring Johnny Depp. This film has several shots where the camera is clearly seeing something from the point of view of a specific character, rather than serving as an outside eye looking in.

Saturation:
Color is a large part of Burton’s camera mastery. He shoots subjects in over saturated and under saturated color, often in order to use the color of the scene to help add to the Gothic mystery or surreal and dreamlike states that his stories frequently find themselves in. Although digital color grading assists in the process of achieving vibrant and specific coloring in his pictures, such as in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” Burton is still known for using the camera to capture color unlike that which most other directors put on the screen.
