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. The areas i struggle with though are definitely auteur theory and spectatorship and i am going to discuss those in further detail. Spectatorship In spectatorship we look at La la land and Winters Bone and how the way the audience view the film influences their experience of it.

Auteur theory In Auteur theory we study Blade Runner directed by ...
“The director is the most important influence on a film” Compare how far your two chosen films support this statement. The two films I have selected for this question is Blade Runner (1992 directors cut) and The Lady From Shanghai (1947) and the directors in question are Ridley Scott and Orson Welles. The Auteur Theory is “create your own visual style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.” Orson Welles. The Lady From Shanghai was made in 1947 by Orson Welles starring himself and Rita Hayworth. This film was originally made to get Welles out of Debt because he went over budget for a stage production of around the world in 80 days and he owed IRS Money. The film had a budget of 2.5 million in which Welles went overbudget due to shotting in far locations such as Nicargarua and San Fransisco , increasing costs on travel and accommodation. Welles wanted full control of the film and had his actress Rita Hayworth hair bleached and cut, which angered Har...
