does anybody know some techniques from the film Edward Scissorhands that can relate to belonging? I'm having some trouble thinking of some

help appreciated

Costume: Contrast between black costume of Edward and bright constumes of the citizens in the town
Lighting: Contrast between Edward's dark castle and the bright, sunny town. The town in the movie seems quite peaceful: similar houses, similar cars and similar lifestyle of people - suggest that people in the town get along quite well... contrasted to Edward's castle which is out of place - It reveals the Belonging theme.

- Camera angle pans into a long shot, contrasting the dark Gothic architecture of Edward's castle to the fluorescent suburbia.

- Close up of the posters in Edward's room of other "freaks". Shows his want to belong.

contrast to the general public is the general tech. used.

The scene where the camera pans out of the residential area showing all of the cars reversing out of their homes to go to work- highlights the concept of how everything is almost practically the 'same' and unified. Hence they all Belong; where we soon see Edward isolated and in different clothing- hence the use of characterisation is this situation to reinforce he doesnt belong to the norm of society.

Hope that helps:wave:
