Winters bone "Winters Bone" is an independent film made in 2010 and directed by Debra Granik It is a set in an area of the Ozark's has a different society to the rest of the world where women do hard labour and the men are in power. Debra Granik was insistent in the movie being Neo-realistic and she accomplished this with a budget of $2million by using handheld shots making the film look like a documentary adding verisimilitude to the film. "The little sparrow scene." Starts bright and jolly this juxtaposes the rest of the film so far as it has been very dark with very hard light as lots natural light has been used with less artificial this makes the movie look more realistic, however in this scene there is allot brighter colours reflecting the happiness of the people in the room, all the sets used in the movie were actual houses of families in the Ozark's, these houses could be a long distance apart so Jenifer Lawrence and the other actors would walk t...

Alice in wonderland syndrome has turned out different to our original plan for the project however i feel that the end product is still high quality the story board shows the original plan for the short film however due to a mix of stylistic chooses and more footage than we expected to shot. The final product was in total 4 minutes 1 minute longer than the asked time but we feel that we couldn't part with because it added more depth to the film. The sound in the film is primarily non diegetic sound with the voice over and the diegetic sound is the nature, birds and trees.

Its and old joyful scene and atmosphere, a tea party, and Hatter is there, so is Rabbit but its not the same, why? Her eternal fear and conflict is growing and is becoming more violent, present, she can't stay for more than 5 minutes or she she will become more bad, over powered, even finished. She wants to get better, she has too, its what the councillors say and want right? Or is it the opposite is it better to be crazy? Who benefits from her madness? Its her own narrative of her own madness and conflict its all in her destroyed head, or is it? Her own wonderland is destroyed, its over, broken. Not even the s...
