Transition + Length of Takes
It takes about 8 seconds for each shot to be showen. It glids to each scene smoothly throughout the opening. At the end each cut they fade out then at the start of the next one following it it fades in. In the cut with the cookies they quick cut between each individual cookies before it starts to fall. Each shot has something that quickly shows you a part of his life.

method 3
Mis-en-scene/composition
You see snow falling which represents winter and winter is normally depressing. And scissors which give a creepy feel to it. Machines and robots constantily moving gives you an idea of every one is always moving and wants to be in the loop. The pictures of cookies represent want Edward was doing before he was made alive. The hands and the inventor show what Edward had as a family and what he was lookin forward to. Cobwebs that are there represent how lonely and empty his life becomes.

method 2
Music
The music in the start is done by Danny Elfman. The music he created for the start of the film helps set the emotional parts of things. Its done by an orchestra of 79 musicians. The music sounds clasical and has a swaying feel to it. There a voices singing one word, a harp and alot of different string instruments. It changes speed alot going faster then slower.It was used in the beggining because his music sets the story scenes. Gives you a feel of the movie thats going to follow the opening.

Method 1
Shot Size/Angle + Camera Movement
There is a alot of the camera moving. There is dolly which is where they dolly up the stairs. Then there is pan when it pansdown the robot that is going to be Edward. The shot size vary beetwen close up and medium shot. There are also a oblique angle which shows up to the statue at the end of the stairs. These show that the characters are busy and they keep moving. The close ups give you an idea of the inventions and what is in this mansion.

What is the Tone?The tone feels spooky and has a feeling of something bad that is going to happen. I felt like it was a horror because of the massive scissors and machines that are moving. The picture of a door that is different than others and the spider webs on the wooden staue at the end of the stairs gives me a feeling noone really lives there and gave me a feeling of a haunted house.
Mood of the Opening?
The mood has a creepy and sad feel to it. It starts off with all these machines and then it begins feeling more calm and confuzing when the snow starts falling and theres cookies.
How is it Created?
It is created by the colour and how the colour keeps simple and the same. It uses the colours Black, White, Blue/purpley grey. It also uses different shots and it moves the camera alot. With medium shots and other interesting shots.

Edward Scissorhands Directed By Tim Burton
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1669307/edward_scissorhands_opening_sequence/The Opening of Edward Scissorhands
I have chosen this movie opening because it caught my eye and i thought it was interesting and apealing to watch.
The opening starts of with the 20th Centery Fox sign with snow falling. Then it takes you through the door which then the words Edward Scissorhands appears and starts to open like a pair of scissors. It then shows you the wooden thing at the end of the stairs, which then takes you up these stairs. It then carrys on and shows you inventions the inventor has made, like his cookie machine which then goes to the falling cookies that look like snow. This then takes you to the hands and the inventor that is dead. It ends off with the mansion and the snow falling. The snow falling is the reason the story has taken place because a little girl asked where does snow come from??
