The Nightmare Before Christmas Special Edition Trailer
This is the trailer for Tim Burton's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. I chose to look at just the trailer because there is no specific part of the film I am looking at, I am just looking at the settings and the characters. I really like the gothic looking background, complete with spider webs and gravestones, this is very good use of props and I would like to try and use some in my nightmare sequence of the video. The characters are all quite extravagant, with masks and face paint on. I would really like to use a mask in my sequence to hide the identities of my characters, make up wouldn't be so good at hiding it.
I also really like the use of shadows and darkness, I would like to make my nightmare sequence in the dark, outside and use a torch as a spotlight. This would make it more believable as a nightmare, and not reality. Also, I might make my nightmare in black and white, therefore it is seperate from the story that is happening in reality.
