This document provides planning details for a documentary about film director Tim Burton and his unique gothic fantasy style. It includes mood boards showing color schemes and characters from Burton's films for inspiration. There are also sketches of the documentary's timeline graphic, interview questions, and production schedule. The documentary will begin with an introduction and timeline of Burton's films, followed by an interview with a Burton fan discussing his style and shared universe theory. Scenes from Burton's movies will accompany the interview. The outro will feature memorable clips from films like Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands.

1. Factual:
Idea Development and Planning
Hope Smith

2. Mood board (or other idea development work):
These are colour schemes from popular
Burton films, all his films a have similar
colours so I want to try keep a similar
colour theme to my documentary.
This is Burtons original sketch for Edward
Scissorhands, I think this would be a cool
thing to incorporate into my
documentary.
These drawings aren't by Tim
Burton, but I think they are
similar kind of style and look
like some of the characters in
his movies.
This is a
Burtonesque style
drawing inspired
by his classic art
style of very
skinny almost
stick figure like
characters with
big dark eyes and
messy hair.
I thought these pictures were very
Burtonesque and all looked like they
could be a scene in his movie.
This is a collection of Tim Burton's most
well-known characters this shows his
range of work and how impactful he has
been in the film industry.
This is the most
famouse scene of
any Tim Burton film
The Nightmare
Before Christmas
and one of the
most famous
scenes from an
animated movie.
The documentary is about how
all burton films look like they
are all set in the same universe
very similar to the Marvel
Cinematic Universe
One of Tim Burton's
own drawings from
his book called The
Napkin Art of Tim
Burton.

3. Content: The documentary will start with a quick introduction about how Tim Burton is known for his gothic fantasy
style with a timeline graphic appearing on screen of all his movies. It will then cut to summers interview with them
talking about Burtons film style and how all his films look like they all coexist in the same universe, I will switch between
two different camera positions for the interview to add some variance between the shots. I am going to film the
interview on a white back drop with some dark Ish lighting to fit Tim Burton's dark aesthetic in his films. I will make and
outro using some clips from Burtons most famous movies like; The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Edward
Scissorhands and Corpse Bride.

5. Planning:
The intro starts with a timeline of all of Tim Burton's movies
with a voice over saying who he is and how he has a unique
style.
I will be interviewing my friend who is a big Tim burton fan for
the documentary.
I will show scenes from different burton movies that are
relevant to what Summer is talking about.
I will try to edit a scene from one of the movies so the next
word in the interview is the last word of the quote in the
movie.
It will cut back to the end of the interview with summer.
The outro will be a montage of some of the most memorable
and recognisable scenes from Burton's movies.

This is an example of what the timeline graphic is
going to look like whole. I will use aftereffects to make
the graphic so it zoomes in on each of the movies in
order. In the documentary there will be a voice over
saying who tim burton is while this is on screen.
