Tim Burton

Charlie and the chocolate factory - Tim Burton

I think that Tim Burton has been thought of as a Auteur film maker because auteur film makers have their own way of directing and visioning their films and often use similar looking shots, themes and actors they've worked with previously in other films and his methods are different to lots of other directors films as he has complete control over the production of them. I think this because an example of this is in the trailers for both of the films, the man whose voice is used for the voiceovers is used for both of the films but he also does it in a way that introduces you to the story and the main characters and if you watch the official trailers you will know exactly what I mean. Also in the two trailers, another similarity are that Willy Wonka and Beetlejuice are both very outgoing, eccentric and quirky main characters who both have very silly lines included in the two trailers and also they both have very pale faces and very noticeable and unorthodox costumes in the two films which could say quite a lot when it comes down to how Burton imagines these characters when trying to visualise them in his head and they are both very representative of the genres for both of the films as they are both fantasy and comedy films and both. Also, in my opinion, I feel like Charlie and the chocolate factory and Beetlejuice are similar as I think the colour in the setting of both films look quite similar as it looks like Tim Burton is quite into using a gothic/dark theme in his films even though granted in Charlie and the chocolate factory there are lots of rooms full of colour like the first room they all go in but I would say that the area surrounding the factory is quite gloomy and industrial.
