Coursework Inspiration - Harry Potter

Coursework Inspiration


For our coursework, we have had an idea to incorporate a dream sequence including flashbacks to the previous day of the actors in the church. We have taken inspiration from the dream sequence of the Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix. As shown in the video below.




We thought this sequence was very effective due to the montage editing. The continuous cuts to the dream and cut backs of reality creates an uneasy effect for the viewer. It also establishes an ambiguous effect as the viewer is unclear what is actually occurring in the dream. The quick pace montage editing of the dream and short shots really conveys the setting of the dream whilst still creating a unsure effect. Also, we thought the constant cut backs and close up shots of him whilst he is dreaming reminds the viewer of his fear and panic whilst experiencing the dream.

We also liked the use of low lighting to create a strong atmospheric effect. As well as, the diagetic sound of his breathing creates the sense of his fear and the non-diagetic sound of music builds up the tension and trepidation for the viewer.

We are therefore going to use this as inspiration for our coursework and maybe incorporate some of the concepts used in this sequence to create as strong as an effect as possible.
