The
equilibrium is when Harry is in his aunt and uncle’s home. This shows the
normality of his everyday life.
The disruption occurs when a dementor comes to his train carriage and makes him unconscious, while hearing a scream of a woman.
The recognition occurs when Harry realises that he has to do something to protect himself from the dementors.
To repair this problem, Harry gets help from a Professor Lupin to help defeat the
dementors.
In the end of the film Harry eventually defeats the dementors by going back in time to fix things properly.
By travelling back in time Harry and Hermione were able to save Buckbeak's life. This is the new equilibrium.
Characters:
Harry is one of the main characters in the film. He has been targeted by the dementors because he mentions Sirius Black’s name. This is because Sirius Black has been imprisoned for many crimes that he supposedly committed.

The classrooms also portray a fantasy genre as there are potions and spell books in the classes.
Props: There is a variety of magical props that are typical of the fantasy genre. Harry and Voldemort’s wands are typical of the dark fantasy genre.
Harry's invisible cloak helped him enter a restricted area where he found the teachers revealing a dark secret. This prop is typical of the fantasy genre as it is not something you can use in a real situation and it shows us that it is magical.
Sound:
The music was anticipated, loud, dark music. There were medieval influences of music. This was non diegetic sound.
There was Hedwig's theme song that was used in the first two Harry Potter films.
Editing:
For editing CGI (computer generated imagery) was used to create the dementors and Buckbeak.

STORYLINE: The story follows Harry Potter's third year at
Hogwarts as he is informed that a prisoner named
Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban and wants to murder him.
There were many binary oppositions I found in the film such as Good vs Bad, Loyalty vs Betrayal, Truth vs Lies and Strong vs Weak. The main binary opposition is Good vs Bad. In this film, Harry gets help from a professor to help him learn a spell that will affect the dementors.
Loyalty vs Betrayal- Peter Pettigrew broke Harry's mum and dad's trust by selling them to Voldemort.
Strong vs Weak- At the end of the film the dementors are strong to perform the kiss on Siruis and Harry, making them weak at this point.
Truth vs Lies- Harry and Hermione find out that Sirius is innocent. Harry finds out that Professor lies to him about Sirius at first.
This is a medium shot where Hermione begins to turn the time turner. Harry is confused to what the time turner does. This time turner has significance to time travel.
In this shot we can see a close up of the time turner as Hermione is turning it. This combines well with our film as the main character, Kate turns a watch to travel back in time.
This is the sequence from the film whereby Harry and Hermione are time travelling. During this time travel, Harry and Hermione travel back to the beginning of the day so that they can fix what had happened to Buck beak and to Sirius. This relates well to our film as we also portray Kate time travelling back to the past to fix the argument she had with Lily.
