Burton lived with grandmother as a teennager he spent his days drawing and dreaming and watching old monster movies. He liked monsters because he felt connected with them since
Edward also felt like an outsider. Tim Burton became a filmmaker at the age of 26, when he made a short film for Disney. This is important because after Disney he became a film director.
He is famous for films such as Edward Scissorhands ,Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and
Corpse Bride. Tim Burton style is best described as a creative. He uses irony, flashbacks, and contrast colors as his techniques. One of the elements that contribute to Tim Burton’s creative style is irony. Irony is the opposite of what is expected. For example in the film Edward Scissorhands, at the beginning of the film there was a scene where Edward is all dressed up with dark colors, clothes made out of metal and his face filled with scars made by his hands that are scissors . Edward lives inside of a very dark lonely house on top of a hill. That makes the audience think that he is a monster but really he was a nice person even when Ms. Peg goes to his house he doesn't do anything bad to her.

They are all talking about Edward spreading rumors but when they see how nice he can make a garden they are all being nice. That only
