Harry Potter analysis: Setting - The location in this scene is in Hogwarts the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the action takes place in the dining hall. The fact that the pupils are sitting at the tables with plates and cutlery and the teachers are sitting at the long table at the end of the hall, facing the students. This indicates that they are about to eat but at waiting for the new students to arrive. The lighting in the hall was golden and warm with lots of pupils sitting in it. The plates and cutlery are silvers and shiny. There are torches hanging on the wall which suggests that it is warm and light in the hall, which is very big and has candles floating above them which gives off a very magical feeling. I think this indicates that the films has a family, fantasy and adventure genre. The setting indicates a very warm and grand feeling, for me the lighting, colours, props and all the students and teachers being in there together gives of that mood. The setting suggests the Dumbledores character is very important. He is sitting in the middle of the grand hall, in the middle of the table, sitting the biggest chair with lots of different patterns and colours on it, and he is wearing unique robes and hat out of all the teachers.The setting also suggest that Draco Malfoy's character is very dark. When the camera is turned onto him the music goes to a very dark, slow and low. This shows that he is going to be a bad character in the film and he is going to cause trouble. Costume - The costumes suggest a magical and traditional period. The teachers are all in gowns and hats which comes across as if they are quite powerful and traditional, but there is type of querky feeling towards them, that they have their own styles and unique qualities.
