Poster+Making

 Welcome to the World of Tim Burton!

Today we will spend our time discussing the viewing of the //Nightmare before Christmas// and what we felt about it. We will examine the cinematic techniques that Tim Burton employs and how they contribute to his overall themes. Then you and your group members will spend time discussing and brainstorming an idea for a short film based on what we have learnt. Once you have a basic idea you will __individually__ create your own poster for your movie using the program [|PosterMyWall]. Remember to be as creative as possible!

Below are some links that may help you with ideas for your poster. You will need to collect a number of pictures from an internet picture search to use to help create your poster, these you will need to save to a file on your desktop and then upload to the PosterMyWall site.
 * [|Tim Burton's Themes and Influences]: a website discussing the influences on Tim Burton and his film style.
 * [|The Tim Burton Collective]: everything Tim Burton
 * Short Film [|Rest]: something a bit extra, a zombie short film to help you start thinking about how to create your own.
 * [|A Conversation with Tim Burton]: a great site with a few of the rare interviews with Mr Burton.
