Paragraph 1: Summary of scene from Big Fish.
Paragraph 2: Analysis of Tim Burton's style in Big Fish. Use your cinematic techniques and the effects of the technique to help you analyze his style.
Paragraph 3: Summary of your second Tim Burton scene.
Paragraph 4: Analysis of Tim Burton's style in your second scene. Use your cinematic techniques and the effects of the technique to help you analyze his style.
Paragraph 5: Compare and contrast Tim Burton's style between the two movies.
