2)costume,hair and make up
3)facial expressions and body language
4)lighting and colour
5)positioning of characters/objects within the frame


Setting and props

• Settings and locations play an important part in film-making and are not just backgrounds
• Sets are either built from scratch or a great deal of time is spent to find a setting which already exists
• Settings can manipulate an audience by building certain expectations and the taking of a different turn

Costume, Hair and Make Up

• Tell us immediately whether the film is set in the present and what society or culture it will pertain to.
• Acts as an indicator to the audience of a characters' personality, status and job
• certain costumes can signify certain individuals( e.g black cloak of a vampire) or groups( men in uniform)

Facial Expressions and Body Language

• Provide clear indicator of how someone is feeling
• If someone is smiling broadly, we assume they are happy but we may have got a different feeling if this was accompanied with scary themed music
• Body language may also indicate how a character feels towards another character or may reflect the state of their relationship

The adverts used are used to promote the Harry Potter brand and it makes more people aware of the upcoming new Harry Potter film. The merchandise is generally aimed at kids/teens but some could be aimed at hardcore fans. Adverts on online and tv are probably the best way to market the new film as many people watch tv and use the internet. Outside of the billboards can also be useful as many people would drive past them in day.
