Edward Scissorhands title sequence

The title sequence for 'Edward Scissorhands' starts out with its production company, which is 20th century fox, which are the same producers for numerous other films Tim Burton has done, however they have changed it to fit the theme of the film, instead of the '20th century fox' being in gold and the lights flashing around it, instead it has a dark background and the text is in white with dark blue around the edges and ice surrounding the title to make it look like its been frosted over, also instead of the lights flashing around the text, snow is falling instead which links to the rest of the film, which is set mostly as Christmas and in the snow.

Next in the sequence are the titles, which begin to appear after the production company, the titles are all in the same white font, the writing is in a similar style to that of a skeleton almost like its finger, its long and thin, which stands out against the pitch black back ground.
The text uses a zoom in affect, it slowly gets bigger and looks like its coming out from the back ground, this makes it look slightly more scary as you think its going to come right up to the screen but then moves to the side.
The text also includes the producers, director, conductor and the actors/actresses, I have also included all of these in my titles.
There are also none of the cast or any people shown in the title sequence, the only human part shown are fake hands, this is because the film is about Edward who has scissors for hands and is incomplete, so we do not know who the characters will be in the film which makes it a surprise.

The use of music in the title sequence is important as it builds an atmosphere for when the film starts, the music is composed by Danny Elfman who also composerd the music for other Tim Burton films such as 'Charlie and the chocolate factory', 'Batman', 'Planet of the apes' and 'Sleepy Hollow'.
The music first starts out when 20th century fox appears on the screen, at first it is quite with just a bell playing but then as the actors names begin the appear and more objects that are in the film through out begin to appear, the music becomes louder which builds up tension just before the film starts, I have also noticed the music used in Edward Scissorhands is similar to the music used in other films by Tim Burton that are composed by Danny Elfman as well, this shows they have similar tastes in genres of films, as all the films done by Tim Burton have a dark twist to them just like his more recent film 'Alice in wonderland' which is more intense and violent compared to the original Disney one.
