Checkpoint 1

Today I talked to Mr Ussher about possible elements of Burton's style that I could write about.

These included Special Effects - smoke & explosions, Lighting - blue tones, dark, low-lighting, key-lighting, Music - Danny Elfman, orchestoral, Opening Scene often featuring a mini model of the setting, Costume - eccentric, gothic, Make Up and Acting Style - outsider, Johnny Depp, Tim Burton represented in the outsider character, Character Actors - Johnny Depp as the misunderstood outsider in Edward Scissorhands or Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman.

Mr Ussher told me that I should steer away from Acting Style and Special Effects.
