Harry Potter 7 Scene Analysis


Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 2 is a movie which was released in 2011; it is the last in the Harry Potter series, and concludes with the final war between the wizards and the death eaters.

The main lighting in this scene is dark, there is a lot of dull colours used on the other characters. The dark colours are used to connote the darkness about to happen. In the scene we see Harry Potter die and the colours connote the bad things about to happen. We see that the scene is set is the forest at night. We see that the faces of the background actors are dark, as they are not the main characters in the scene we see that the light is not focused on their faces.

The lighting used to both Harry Potter and Voldermort is filter lighting which connotes the realism during the scene it also puts the audience at the edge of their seats. We see the light focused on the faces of the main actors; which connotes their importance in this scene. Low key lighting is used to show the contrast between the light and dark areas where the light is focused on Voldermorts face as he is the villain and its also faced on Harry's face but he is the protagonist. The high key lighting is also shown to make the actors look more realistic in the dimly lit scene but hardly any shadows are created.

  1. WWW: Very good analysis of the trailer, excellent use of media terminology

    EBI: Highlight key words, could mention how the flash of light at the end of the clip adds a effect to the over all trailer
