Today we have studied several sequences from "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Misdirection"- we watched and analysed these pieces in order to gain ideas for shot types, editing and mise-en-scene to use in our own coursework films.
There are elements in the Harry Potter sequences which we found particularly effective and may imitate in our piece-
The use of tracking shots during the dementor attack helped set the pace for the sequence and also created tension- we feel that if we choose to film a more fast moving sequence we could imitate this style of shooting hopefully to the same effect.
The way the director has made it evident that the dream sequence is not, in fact, reality, provided some inspiration. Our group has decided to use a dream sequence at the beginning of our coursework film, and may use elements of this to a similar effect. Though our dream sequence will be a more lighthearted, comedic one, we can still take note of some of the techniques used- for example, the use of sound is prominent in this part of Harry Potter. We could use sound effects to indicate the detatchment from reality.
The quick transitions and disjointed clips also detract from realism- we may use this in flashback sequences within our piece.
When Voldemort enters towards the end, the camera work becomes jerkier and less fluid- this adds realism and a more suspenseful effect- we could utilise this technique for the more serious, tense parts of our coursework.
