Harry Potter Assignment

Harry Potter Scavenger Hunt

The film industry for Harry Potter has generated a massive Narrative Image.
The premiere of the film is this week!
Your assigned task is to go on a Harry Potter Scavenger Hunt.
You must find 10 marketing strategies that the HP corporation has used to promote the new film installment.
Blog about the various marketing strategies you have found and their importance to the HP Brand.
Bring one item to class for show and tell for your last lesson next week.
During your show and tell you will be asked to discuss how your chosen piece contributes to the HP narritive image. For example does it contribute to stars, target audience, enigma, genre (promise), fan community, promotional, branding, etc. (it can be contributing to more than one)

Have Fun!

Secrets and Lies - work for class

Watch the whole extract in the RESOURCES FOLDER.

In your pair, create a POWERPOINT to be presented to the class. You need to:
1. Watch the individual extracts.
2. For each of the individual extracts, put one extract on your slide e.g. 'Secrets and lies one"
3. On the slide put notes of the following:
     a. Mise-en-scene - costume, hair, make-up, body language, facial expressions etc
     b. Sound and Light - what does it add?
     c. Representations of Britishness
     d. Colour - what does it signify?
     e. Use of stereotypes - who is being stereotyped? Are the stereotypes negative?
     f. Why have stereotypes been used?

At the end, make some notes on what you have learned overall from this activity about MES, signification and representation.
Miss will ask you to present all the slides as a group so you will be asked to present a couple of your slides to the class.

Good Luck :-)
