The genre of this film predominantly
fantasy as presented in one of the first scenes showing Hermione
with a magic wand as she casts a spell on her parents. There is also a shot
where the images on the newspaper are moving which doesn't happen in
reality. This can be inciting for the
audience as it creates a new world for them and they can feel intrigued. Who ever has watched the previous
films will know what they are like therefore the suspense that something bad is
going to happen to harry is even more daunting.
Finally the villain is at large which
shows fear and creates a role change; the most powerful people in the films
change to be weak and powerless. To start with you can see a man talking about
the disaster that has occurred. There is fear in his eyes that make the
audience feel nervous about what is happening.
When we can finally see who he is talking to there is a large audience
of people listening intently. He finishes talking and all at once they all take
photos of him with large piercing flashes.
He seems very powerful as he is above the others and is not crowded
within them.
The lighting has also significantly
changed as it is very dark and cynical in this film compared to all the others
where the lighting is much brighter. This automatically makes the audience
wonder whether there is something bad going to happen. Before this film the
ministry seemed like a magical place however because it is dark it changes the
atmosphere. Although the last words that he says is “we remain strong!” the
fear, darkness and worry forces the audience not to believe it.
At the start of the film there is non
diegetic sounds as the man is talking, His voice is very draining and serious
as if he was upset but doesn’t want to show it. After the speech some diegetic
sounds are introduced for example some solemn music started to play that gave the impression something bad was
happening. As the film progressed the tempo of the music progressed building
tension and fear. A few times there was speech that overlapped the music
however the music was the main source of sound the whole way through.
The very start there was an extreme
close-up of the man showing just his eyes, it then changed to a close-up
presenting the rest of his face. This helped the audience to link the content
of what he is saying to the fear in his face.
There is a brief over the shoulder shot over the main character showing
his power. The next shot was a high angle shot above his head revealing the
audience. The camera was very high up which made it feel as though something
was looking down on them supporting the fact that there in a burden on them
all.
