A sound bridge has been used at 0:34 to show that although the charcters are not seen in the same place, they are in close proximity and in the same area, and also the fact that Harry Potter and the us - the audience are listening to whats going on up above. Throughout this scene, non-diegetic sound has been used. String instruments give the scene an solumn and meloncholy feel and also helps create suspense. At 3:00 the sound contributes to the sad feel as he falls to his death. The lighting from the begginning is high key although it is dim, we know this because the contast between light and dark isn't highly apparent. This gives us the effect of a realistic setting and also sets the mood: as it's a dimly lit and gloomy scene, we can tell that the events will have a unhappy and greivous outcome.
