How Far does 'Winter's Bone' rely upon an understanding of its social context? Refer in detail to at least one sequence of film. In Winters Bone, This sequence opens up with a two person mid-shot, showing Ree and Tear drop. This shot shows that both characters have some connection, with Tear drop driving emphasises the idea of a patriarchal society as he has the power of where they are going. As this is an independent film, they tend to have longer takes and this fits the trend as it doesn't cut until 13 seconds into the sequence. They also have used only natural lighting to increase the idea of a naturalistic theme. I believe this harms the film as i absorbed everything from this shot within the first five seconds so the delaying of the cut gradually bored me as a viewer. The next few shots are close-up shot reverse shots going back from Ree and Teardrop. Tear Drop is a complex character that i have found an allegiance with how he carries himself, he is a very i...

2nd Year 500 word essay Last year i came into film not knowing anything at all about the subject,but now i can safely say that i am strong with the core stuff such as cinematography,editing,performance and Mis-en-scene.

Auteur theory In Auteur theory we study Blade Runner directed by ...

The Gunfighter The Gunfighter starts of with an enigma code straight away with a long shot showing a cowboy walking down the side of a saloon. The man we learn to know as the gunfighter has his hat down so we can't figure out who it is until this is revealed. This keeps the audience engaged as they are awaiting this information to be given to them. It doesn't reveal a lot about the film but the mis-en-scene sug gests its a western. I would want to incorporate this enigma code into my film sequence as it would allow me to create interest for one of my main characters in my story. The voice over is also used very well to create comedic affect as it doesn't fit the normal stereotype of a regular voice over. The fact that the actors break down the fourth wall and react and speak to the voice over is very funny as well. I'm thinking of doing something serious but whacky so this maybe a good tool to use to accomplish this. Curfew From Curfew, i particularly like the idea of ...
