Week 4: Film Analysis Continued

I have continued with my analysis's, I have now decided to carry out a Genre Analysis, Auteur Study and Reception Study. I have decided to carry out a reception study as a different analysis for me to carry out and find out what it is and find the relevant information. This involves how the film was recieved, I have decided on the film Edward Scissorhands. I have found ratings, demographics of audience, reviews, box office figures for opening weekend and awards. This will show how the film was recieved by the audience and people in different countries.
I have completed my genre analysis on the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). Within this analysis I have included: Characters, Iconography, Setting and Narrative in relation to the film. Through carrying out this analysis I have learnt about the film and how all of these elements are combined to create a wonderful fantasy adventure film. I have also completed my Auteur Study on Tim Burton, comparing the films Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I have analysed the signature elements of Tim Burton within the films including: influences from childhood, distinctive characters, cast and crew, setting, cinematography and themes. Through watching and analysing these two films I instantly saw connections in the two films in relation to the director. These include: main character represented as an outcast, gothic elements, signature company logo at the beginning and the music used throughout the films.

Auteur Study: Tim Burton

I will continue to complete my final analysis, the reception study. Throughout writing my analysis I have been writing up a research dossier, I have been writing a written document showing my knowledge in relation to the films and the Tim Burton. By having this document it will show how I have used my research gained for the analysis' and my understanding.  
Through applying the different analytical approaches I have gained knowledge in how to write these approaches and what elements to look for within a film.
