Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone - Intro Analysis

So the intro starts with an estalishing shot of a sign which gives the audience an idea of where the film is set. There is also an owl standing on the sign which connotes possible mystery and fantasy. This shot then pans over to a misty looking surburban setting which shows a man dressed in robes emerging out of the fog. Again this connotes this is going to be a fantasy film and theres also polysemy about who this man is due to his mysterious apperance. The camera also pans to a cat which again can be related to wizardry. The wizard the starts to put out the street lamp by using what looks light a magic lighter which anchors the fact that this man is a wizard. The man starts talking to the cat that was seen earlier and the cat spontaniously turns into a woman. We now know the identity of the man as proffesor Dumbledore and so far 2 characters have been introduced. Then it goes to a 2 shot of them walking discussing a 'boy' and what appears to be some sort of mission. There is definate polysemy hear used to make the audience think who this boy is. Then the camera cuts to a man flying out of the sky on a moter bike which again shows there magic powers. The man on the bike 'Hagrid' hands over a small boy in a blanket however we still dont get to see his face which continues the mystery of who he is. Another point is throughout the intro there is very mysterious music which emphasises the fantasy setting. The music then changes tone and the camera zooms in on his faces which connotes this is most likley a mian character in the film the camera then zooms into the scar on his forehead which is an influential part of the film.
