Visit to Harry Potter World

 In This First photo from Harry Potter world we see Voldemort's snake about to pounce on the girl. This was used in the film alongside CGI to show the scene where this event happens. In the film series of Harry Potter, all props were built not created electronically, this added an extra bit of realism to the films as well as easier filming. Also in this photo you can see the table with the dolls sitting around it, the wigs on them are the ones that the actors would have used. This shows what the positioning would have been around the table.    

 This Photo shows Hogwarts Castle, this miniature castle was built after being modelled along with a lo of other props from the film from scratch. This piece in particular shows how much detail in terms of mise-en-scene the arts and editing departments of the film went to when creating the film. This is because they built a whole building out of stone instead of using CGI.

This final picture is of part of a working clock that was created for the film, this is yet another example of the non use of CGI for objects in the film. This was one of the biggest props in the studios and was designed in only a way that suited the film taking in mind the colours of the film and also the way it looks and sounds.

As well as these there are also some other photos that I took that show props for the film. These also clearly show the level of mise-en-scene.

Harry Potter aspects of mine en scene- Luke Burnip

 The mise en scene for this set is very simplistic with lots of props being played out on the table to signify it is lunchtime for the school. There is a crest that notifies to the audience what house table it is. Also there is fairly bright lighting to show that it is a safe place and so the audience can see all of the props on the table no matter how small they are.

 In this picture there are lots of bright props that were placed on the table which is very eye catching and is made to catch the audience's attention. The contrast of the shiny, light objects and the dark table really makes the props stand out. This is also enhanced by the fact that there is bright lighting to make the props stand out even more.

 This is meant to depict a dark classroom with the teacher walking around the classroom. The lights are used to emphasise the props in the form of cauldrons  and it helps the audience know what the lesson is about. In the background there were lots of props that are bottles that further give the set the feeling that potions are being made. 

 This is a long shot of people sitting at the table, The set was made like this so it is easy to see all of the characters and the dark clothes that they are wearing. There is a prop of a snake in the middle of the table that is going for a floating woman. The prop of the scale is positioned so it looks like it is going to attack the woman and the woman is suspended in mid air to give across a sense of venerability from the set.

 This is a close up of the wallpaper that was covering a room. This was very good for the setting and it had a lot of hidden meaning that the audience could visually see if they looked at it in enough detail.

 This train station and the train itself is set so that it looks like it is a train in a station. The set was a long dark room to depict an old fashioned train station. The lighting was dark but the paining of the train really made it stand out from the set.

 This carriage is good because it is small enough to look like it is a little crammed like a real life train carriage but is big enough that all of the characters would have been made out. It is light to show that the train is in use and it provides a level of luxury to its passengers.

This final picture is to show the castle of Hogwarts. It shows the huge lengths of the whole set and it has all the details of the windows ect... there was lighting used to light up the important parts such as the main sections of the castle.
