HARRY POTTER WORLD By Luke M

INTRO

Earlier this term the media department took us to Warner Brother Studios – Harry Potter studios. We took various pictures of all the different sets. In this PowerPoint I will be explaining each picture with a detailed analysis on MISE-EN-SCENEFurthermore I would just like to add that many of the pictures that I took were from my iPhone – snap chat and not used with the media departments cameras and tripods.

This picture was taken as soon as I got to the warner brothers studios. Outside the exhibit there were massive chess pieces that were around 15 ft. tall. These weren’t just any chess pieces, they were the props used in the first Harry Potter film called the philosopher's stone which was released in November 4th 2001.

As you can see these were the real props – wands used in the actual Harry Potter Films. Each wand and wand case was made by hand and all very different. In the actual wand shop there were over 6000 hand made wands however they were all destroyed in one of the last Harry Potter films when it was blown up by the stunt department.

As you enter the exhibit you are faced with this as it is one of the first Movie sets you come face to Face with. These “ soldiers made of stone - Props are at the entrance of the “ Castle “ and are seen in every single film and they have a roll in the last film where they battle the opposing army. This type of Purple shade lighting was used so that it would draw the audience in and be extremely eye catching.

When you come out of the great hall you walk down a hallway toward the other sets. Along this hallway were various props such as this one. The lighting is very well thoughtout since the sky blue compliments the bright white very well.

After you walk down the hall way you are instantly comfronted by this huge prop that was used in all the movies and was part of the entrance to the “castle” This prop is very effective as it is hard to miss and very effective due to the fact that it is not normal and this reflects Harry Potter very well as it to is not based on normal everyday people.

This is the entrance to The headmasters office in the film. This prop was in many of the Harry potter mvoies.

This was the actual train station that was used in the film. As you can see this was one of the biggest sets in the enire production. This is one of my favourite sets because it is platform 9 and 3 quarters and the is also home to the famous steam train which transported all the Students to Hogwarts.

This is the picture of Hogwarts its self this is that exact set which was used in every single movie.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
