Visual Movie Review
I decided to use Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, for my paper. There are a couple of problems with this, like, it was a book that was then made into a movie, and the other is that it is set in England which I don’t know that much about, except that they like to drink a lot of tea with their pinky finger pointed out. Aside from those two problems, this is one of my favorite movies, well along with Star Wars, and the Lord of the Rings. I want to look at a lot of things with movie, like the how they portray the muggle world verses the Magical world, how they use lots of camera angles, lighting, and music to help show us what we should be thinking at certain times in the movie, how they help us like and dislike certain characters, and how hard it was to make a movie out of a book that is so anticipated. Having two different worlds in a movie is hard show, especially when one is completely make believe. The editor of this movie did a remarkable job with distinguishing the muggle world from the magical one. At the beginning of the movie, we start out in the muggle world, and we see a lot of plain colors like dull blue, brown, white, and etcetera. It also seems like the director uses a flat lighting her, to give the a
From turning a story into reality, taking a make believe world and turning it real, this move does a lot. You fall in love with the characters time and time again, while continuing to loath some of them until the day you die. For working under the watchful eye of the writer, the director of this movie did a wonderful job of bringing the viewer into the world of magic. The lighting in this world has a much warmer feeling to it. Certain times everything seems to sparkle and glitter. There are some scenes that there is a red light low in the background, but like so many other movies, this read light makes you feel warm inside rather than anger or worry, like something bad is going to happen. ppearance that this world is not real. While in the Muggle world, they use some weird camera angles. One example is when Harry was getting the mail the first day that his letter arrived. They should him from underneath, instead of a strait shot from down the hall. Also during this shot, the music that is associated with the movie started playing in the background. With both of these signals, we know that something very important is going to happen. Until this point, the only other time that we heard the magical music was at the very beginning when Dombledore was coming out of the dark night and started sucking the lights down his lighter thing. This music is used through out the movie to signify big events that are coming, especially dealing with magic. The letter scene helps prepare the viewers for what is going to happen in the near future to Harry. Most movies that are made from the book, turn out different from the book, however, this move was very much like the book. With a book you read what the character is thinking, where in a movie you can only show facial expressions. Also with books, you are picturing different things in you mind as you are reading, so to actually see it on screen, some people don’t like it because what the director saw and what they saw was different. Then you also have to add on the pressure of the anticipation that this movie had. I think that the director did a wonderful job of turning this book into a reality that is believable. Next we look at Harmonie, the viewer’s first impression of her is that she is a prissy know it all. Which is actually true all the way through the movie, but at the beginning you just want to slap her, and I know I didn’t like her until when Ron was talking about her, and she over heard. Then when they were caught, after defeating the troll and she took all the blame on herself.
