And then shoot Dr. Frankenstein creating the monster as if it were Gepetto making Pinocchio.

It.... actually makes a sort of sense if you think about it?

Gepetto is kind of forceful and disorderly, but he is PASSIONATE. He is using his whole body to carve up the wood, he isn't going for precision or perfection, he wants a son and he is going to get a son, he doesn't care if the end result doesn't look like what he had in mind. He probably doesn't have any specific appearence in mind other than a son. So when Pinocchio comes out, he has a son! What more to do than accept the son his love created?

But with Victor Frankenstein? There is precision and intent in every move, and with it, expectation. He has a clear plan in his mind for what he wants, and that is the Perfect Human. Much like a helicopter parent raising a child, they are filled with lofty ideas about the future, only to be filled in the end with bitterness and resentment once the child doesn't turn out to be who they wanted. The lighting and music seem to carry forward that feeling of great hope and expectation.

Come on [tumblr] where’s my Mars Bear fanart?
