Jordan Banks-Analyzing paper


Jordan Banks                                                                                                          Analyzing paper        

Harry Potter and the deathly hallows
Part 2
Scene 5 (copping the cup)

A first person shot of a cart going down tracks in a underground cave-over to a medium shot of them driving the cart-establishing shot of the whole cave and cart as it passes past the camera-fade to a close up of the creature in the cart as wind goes through his hair, followed by a tracking shot of the cart as it keeps moving-establishing of harry and his friends-first person shot of the cart and tracks-medium close up of the actors followed by a tracking shot of a cart going around a corner. A first person shot of the tracks to give that feeling of uneasiness-medium shot of them talking and pulling brake; back to a fast cut to a first person shot to a back tracking shot –a wide shot of the creature in the cart trying to pull the brake on the cart- medium shot of actors flinching back as a first person shot of a waterfall coming in fast and then into it-establishing shot of actors getting hit by waterfall as the camera zooms into the actors in a cart as they are trying to brake. As a light comes up it cuts to a medium close up of the actors falling as the seat falls out from under them- a close up of feet falling at last a wide shot as they fall down the cave.
The pace of the editing was very fast and quick; I think this is to get a feeling of uneasiness and unknowing up ahead. The lighting is very dark and dim with a wet and dangerous feeling because it’s a cave. I think the director puts these shots so fast to make the audience believe that the actors and the viewers of the movie are in a cave traveling at high speed.
