Winters Bone Winters bone strongly uses its social construct to help emphasise realism in the film. For example, during the production of the film, the film makers chose to film in the public area, had the characters wear clothes from the shops in the area and even used local actors to help create an authentic feeling. A sequence that’s strongly shows the use of the films social construct is when Jennifer Lawrence’s character Ree takes her younger brother and sister hunting for squirrels. The fact that it is the older sister who is having to take this mother role on due to her mother’s health highlights the fact that the place the family live in is very self-reliant and quite poor. Another example of this is the fact that the character of Ree has to look for her farther herself which also shows how that community is often forced to take matters in to their own hands in order to live a relatively stable life.

Overall, I believe that the whole film went well, the use of muse-rn-scene passed expectations. The colour, for example in the second scene, while walking home matched the whole skeptical feel. Orange street lights on a dark night we’re able to create a cold and virtually uncomfortable feel. Lighting in the climax, with Danny kitchen being killed, worked well with the whole dramatic feel.

Yet, this is only in a dream so this means nothing? Does it? After learning what he has done in his dream has reflected it’s way into real life this character has to live with what he has done and eventually leads to the death of said character
Cinematic ideas- the most of this short film will be filmed during the night time to reflect the whole darkness and eeriness of the dream to inflict emotions of sadness and melancholia. some scenes will be shot during the day, this will create a distinction between the real world and the dream, with dark being the dream and light during the real world,) general locations of the film will be in lonesome and deserted areas such as 'the abandoned bridge' in Weddington as well as 'desert' which is deserted flat land with trees and woods within the general Sandon region. these locations will be used during night time. in the day time areas such as town which can vary in population will be used to make these sequences more cosy and relatable to real life. white shirts will be worm within the dream segments, however this will change over the course of the film; resembling how the purity of this character is lost. in the dream world, influences of lighter colours such as pink...
