Edward Scissorhands Ice Dance Scene

Edward Scissorhands Ice Dance Scene


Setting:
This scene is set in Kim's back garden with her house in the background with Christmas lights hanging from the house.

Hair and Make Up:
Kim has natural make up and an angle like styled hair to show she is very angelic and graceful. Kim also has ice shavings falling gently around her and on her hair and face, this creates a halo look on the top of her head. Kim has the big eyes and plump lips, narrow nose which a lot of people say is 'the perfect features'. However Eadward has scares all over his face and very messy black hair. Edwards make up is very pale face with very dark lips, a purple colour. His hair looks like it’s never been brushed or combed, it also is very spicky looking.

Costume:
Kim is wearing a white satin (or silk) dress. I think the reason for Kim wearing a white dress is to show she is innocent and very angelic and what Edward sees as an angle. Edward is wearing the clothes Peg (the mum) had given him. As Edward is making the ice sculpture of an angle his clothes  he’s wearing slowly start to come off (not all the way) to show his true self and the guy Kim fell in love with. Jim is wearing a a black leather jacket and his style is edgy, biker look and he looks like a bully.

Props:
At the beginning of this scene Kim is unpacking Christmas decorations. Edward is standing on a ladder to make the ice sculpture, I think the director, Tim Burton, did this to show people he has gained more respect. In the back garden there is a bush carefully shaped into the family Edward is staying with, also outside of there garden is other masterpieces Edward has created. There’s also houses with  decorations and street lights to give this scene some extra light. The scissors on Edward hands seem to be scary but they produce something incredible, an angle, I think Tim Burton did this to show not to judge people by there appearances. When Jim enters the scene there is a big giant standing behind him to show he this he’s bigger than everybody else and is a bully or nasty person.

Lighting:
When Kim is inside the light is artificial. At the beginning when Kim is unpacking Christmas decorations the lighting is light then as she walks into the doorway is goes dark until she’s outside, this makes it look like she’s gone into a different place where there’s everything different; for example, it’s snowing and it had never snowed before. When Kim is dancing she has a really faint white line appears around her, to show the angle Edward sees her as. There’s Christmas lights hanging up around the house, this adds colour and extra light to the scene.

Character expression and movement:
Kim dances and simles to show she’s happy and comfortable around Edward. When the ice shavings fall down onto her hand this makes her look graceful. Edward is trimming his sculpture quickly to show he is very talented and donen’t need to go slowly.edwards facial expressions show he is really concentrating. When Jim comes along and all the soft gracefulness goes and aggression starts.
