Genre:
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. The film in also and
action and adventure film as a lot happens however the very first two minutes
don’t show much action. 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.
Narrative:
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. There is also a scene where
Hermione is in her bedroom and her mother shouts up to her, her reply sounds
very apprehensive which suggests that she is afraid of what is going on.
Lighting:
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.
Sound:
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.
