Film Project Genre Research - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Pt. 1 (2010)



For this movie, the scene that is being analyzed is during the chase scene never the end of the movie. This scene is being used to look at movies capture chase sequences.

This scene follows after a character that the trio (Harry, Hermionie, and Ron) had just given them up to the Death Eaters. The scene starts with Ron complaining about how Xenophilius had snitched on the group and Harry defending his actions. The group is then confronted by a group of Snatchers (Magical Bounty Hunters) that works for the Death Eaters. The trio starts to run as the Snatchers follow them through a dense forest. After Ron is restrained, Hermionie hits Harry with a spell that disfigures his face hiding his identity from the Snatchers as the two are caught.

This scene makes great use of sound editing, ambient noise, hand-held, and Steadicam filming, and short takes. The sound used in the scene as the trio starts to run was edited so that it goes quite, with booming drums in the background, then fades the sound of the trio's feet impacting the forest's floor. The ambient noise is sounds of the forest being interacted with like twigs snapping, leaves being crushed, and again the sound of the actors running on the forest floor. Sound effects are added to the spells being cast against the trees as the Snatchers miss their targets. This scene makes great use of hand-held filming with close-ups of the actors as they run as they get shots from in front and behind. The Steadicam is used to capture the Snatcher casting spells at the trio and makes use of a crane to track the characters. The scene also uses short takes to portray the intensity of the action that is taking place as it captures each character's emotions and efforts to escape.

This scene doesn't contain any credits as it is towards the end of the film, but not the final scene.
