Harry Potter and Misdirection
We watched clips from Harry Potter and also a University student’s project called Misdirection by Tom Edwards. Through watching the clips we discovered some techniques that we would like to use in out project. One of the techniques was to do with the dream sequence from Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix where they used a whoosh sound affect to draw the audience into the dream. The director chose to use quick cuts and match-on-action to flick between Harry Potter and his dream. Showing him sweating and tossing and turning shows the conventional idea of a horror nightmare. The following of the snake in the reflection shows a contrast from reality and creates an enigma for the audience. The colour wash furthermore signifies the difference between reality and the dream sequence. We could use this in our project if we wanted to include a flashback or a memory. The camera rarely stops moving which makes it easy to watch as it keeps the audience engaged. We feel more fluid camera movement would improve our filming technique.
