Winters bone homework In the film, "Winter's bone", the story seems to rely upon a understanding of its social context. In this document I shall be discussing how far the film relies on this concepts. In the film, the society the main cast reside within is blighted by rural poverty, a severe lack of opportunities for possible social improvements such as stable income, poor quality schools providing sub par education and educational benefits and a severe disconnection from the norm found in typical united states areas. Instead, the community seem to believe in familial loyalty and a strong focus upon kin in a patriarchal society and most work and strong tasks, creating strong and resilient women that have the task of raising and educating the children thrust upon them like a heavy weight. However, due to the lack of opportunities, many members of the community soon begin to produce and spread a large income of Meth causing much of the community to be effected by it's ...

Moodboard for  Blood Noir  

An Evaluation Of  Blood Noir   And   The Dead Man During the making of the films, we decided to make one a drama thriller about a murder and detective, shot in the style, and in parody, of a film noir. The second film,  The Dead Man,  was shot hyper-realistically and in a mainly POV type way. We did this to give both films a sense of character and to use the films as metaphors for the characters themselves.  Blood Noir  being a steady-cam, black and white film gave it stability and a sense of professional production and also symbolises the hard-fact-based nature of the detective, David Doyle. We made the second film hyper-realistic to convey the madness inside of our murderer, Bogart Bates, and the hand-held sporadic movement creates an uneasiness throughout the film that is meant to seduce the viewer into a state of         almost-fear. We also used contrapuntal music in  The Dead Man  to reinforce this. However, th...

Film Two ·          Bates is shown murdering the kid. His motive is unclear but supposedly he is insane and looses his temper. There is a scene of gratuitous torture and violence. ·          Doyle gets called regarding the "suicide" and from Bates’ perspective he sees his chance to cover it up by requesting to assist Doyle. He leads him to an undisclosed location and we see him attack Doyle in the train station lift and drag the body away. ·          Bates finally gets to torture Doyle, he gags him, beats him and eventually murders him. ·        Finishes with a similar scene to the beginning and therefore has an almost circular narrative. ·        Film ends with a blackout after looking at Doyle's dead body on the floor of the art studio Bates used to frame his masterpiece artwork in, the murders. As he is not captured the ending is ambiguo...

The cinematography used within the scene where by Ofelia is being pursued by Vidal into the titular labyrinth, has several different effects upon the audience and on the story as a whole. For example, the low key lighting found within the scene helps to convey the suspense and mystery of the fate of the baby and or Ofelia's fate should Vidal catch up to our protagonist before she can complete the fawn's plan. The low key lighting also helps to convey the idea that the three of them have entered the fantasy realm as similar lighting is also used when Ofelia is inside the labyrinth and whenever the fawn is around. This lighting can also be found within Ofelia's trials, which could suggest that Vidal is the final beast that she must concur before she can leave the single minded and fascist world that she had had to endure throughout the film and her life, and finally enter a world without prejudice and wonder. Almost like her afterlife as it were. This possible interpretation ...

The genre of film I selected is the rather successful and entertaining superhero genre. In recent times, the superhero genre has reached new heights of success, with Avengers Endgame making 2,790,200,000 dollars at the box office and dethroning 2009's Avatar as the highest grossing movie of all time. Considering these feats, I believe it is obvious that many find this genre to be lucrative and entertaining. As to why I enjoy this genre: First of all, I enjoy the fact that good always triumphs over evil, not because of the fact evil is concurred but the way that the defeat of an antagonist is achieved. For example, what around them can they utilise to defeat their foe? What weapon in their arsenal can they utilise in a strategic method to combat their enemies? You see, its the journey of defeating the villain , not the destination, though both are rather satisfying when seen together. It's moments like these that make people (like my father), enjoy these movies. Second of all,...
