Edward Scissorhands
Coraline
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Similarities:
- 2 of the 3 use an animated style
- They all have very dark, bleak colour schemes
- Stylized, old fashioned fonts
- They all give teasers about the main character(s), without giving away who they are completely
- Eerie, conventional fantasy-style music
- Each have each title appearing seperately over the course of the whole sequence
- They all reveal some information about the film's setting / time
- They all create an eerie, uncomfortable feel without presenting the audience with anything particularly frightening/worrying
- They are relatively slow paced
- They are all following some sort of journey/process
- Edward Scissorhands reveals the least narrative information - it is extremely enigmatic
- Edward Scissorhands is also the simplest of the three (and no less effective because of it)
- In Coraline and Lemony Snicket, we actually see the main character(s)
- Lemony Snickets changes setting frequently
- Coraline and Lemony Snicket use an animated style
