Both Tim Burton films begin their openings with logos from their production companies in darker tones to set a grim tone. Sweeney Todd then shows images of a rainy city and a trail of blood leading to a barber chair, building intrigue before the dramatic title reveals itself. Edward Scissorhands starts with gentle music and snow, introducing the weather element while panning shots of a castle and naming the actors provide context for the film. Both openings use visual and musical cues to set expectations for the dark, dramatic stories that follow in distinctive Tim Burton style.
