Vincent (1982 film)
Camera angle ideas
-
Following the cat as it walks past the wall and into Vincent's room creates a very god like perspective to give the idea that these characters are consistently being watched and manipulated (as the narrator says and therefore manipulates the story.
As the character is experiencing difficult situation, the camera angle is very morbid and structure to express their inner emotions and there absurd feelings. This will be vital in our film. It's a way of bringing the 'inner' to become 'outer', a very surrealist technqiue.
Not showing the face of the individual (The Mother) is vital in expressing the power she has in comparison to the other characters. It makes the individual seem huge. Not showing their face also means not giving away their identity, this creates the idea that we are all the same.
The very sharp shapes and absurd lighting/camera angles is a very German Expressionism and Surrealist technique and is evidence of Tim Burton using these techniques.
The shadows cast behind Vincent allow the audience to understand the monster and evil within him coming out in visual form.
A humorous look a a suburban boy named Vincent who reads Edgar Allen Poe and identifies with horror film star Vincent Price.
Vincent visualizes his nightmarish fantasies: his aunt dipped in wax, his beautiful wife buried alive, and his dog Abacrombie transformed into a horrible zombie. But at every turn he is reminded by his mother that, "You're not Vincent Price, you're Vincent Malloy. You're not tormented, you're just a young boy.
The film is a tongue-in-cheek melodrama, a cartoonish pastiche of B-horror movie motifs and Vincent's angst, his exaggerated movements and chiseled facial expressions played against the mellifluous voice of Vincent Price, dripping with mock tragedy.
Narration: This gran masterpiece uses Vincent Prices voiceover to cement Burton's pastiche of the literary and cinematic. Vincent Price acts as his inner emotions, telling the audience his dark tale.Just as Tim Burton stated "When you're younger things look bigger, you find your own mythology, you find what psychologically connects to you." this is important with our story so we will use a similar deep and calm voice as Price to connect with the audience and explore this same idea.
Much like Vincent, our story will delve into the world of 'The Mender' in his secluded "tower of doom". Just like Vincent, The Mender will be put down by those around him and abused. Vincent is literally told to "get outside and have some fun" instead of acting so strange and being abnormal.
The narration uses elements of rhyme to add a child like perspective to the story. Allowing us to relate to the child like character being portrayed.
Once this world is established, his use of pastiche allows Vincent to click in and out of a darker mold that mixes Poe, Vincent Price films and expressionism, to adopt the darker style of those works for tongue-in-cheek humor.
