Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix opening two minute analysis

At the beginning of the scene you can hear the iconic music which is the Harry Potter theme tune. This relates to many of the viewers straight away as this tune is played in all of the Harry Potter films. There is a dark, misty background as the title appears. This is effective because it shows the audience that it is perhaps a dark, gloomy and thrilling film.
  An extreme long shot is then shown and then rolls into a birds eye view shot to show the location. This is effective because it establishes the setting of the film. We are then shown a low angle shot of Harry walking. The camera is tracking him which is effective because it makes the audience feel as if they are walking with Harry. A high angle shot is then shown of Harry's shadow. This outlines how lonely he is because the only company he has is his shadow. A long shot is shown of a lady and her son who is on the roundabout with other children playing in the background. This shows that Harry is very lonely because he is by himself and doesn't have the company of other people. A close up is then shown of Harry's face. This shot is effective because it shows Harry's facial expression which is quite miserable. Whilst this shot is being shown there is sad non- diegetic music playing in the background. This is effective because it makes the audience feel sorry for him. Two shots later we see a medium shot of a group of five teenage boys. They approach Harry with what looks like superiority. The denotations of this shot are a group of five teenage boys all with threatening looks on their faces. From this shot i can connote that they are superior to everyone perhaps because of the threatening look about them and also because of the way they are dressed. We then see another long shot of the group of teenage boys and Harry. This shot makes Harry look weak as he is lower down than them and there is only one of him. Whereas it makes the teenage boys look more powerful because they are higher up and there is five of them. We then see another medium shot of the teenage boys. From this particular part of the scene I can denote five teenage boys. One boy is further forward than the rest of them and they are all standing in such a way that makes them look powerful. From this, I can connote that the boy standing to the front of the group is perhaps the leader of the group because he is the only one speaking which suggests he is the main person.
  A couple of shots later medium shot of Harry is shown. The camera is zooming in towards Harry's face. This is effective because it makes the audience focus on Harry more and focus on his facial expression.
