Our film, It is what it is, is a mockumentary based on the life of a teenager named Connor. Throughout the planning of the film our initial ideas on how the film would represent the life of Connor was focused primarily on Connors actual life and how he would normally go amongst his day-to-day business.

This image was not created by us, the producers, but was already how it was when we entered the room, which further presents the idea of how people w

Notes

Key Features of the film Winters Bone. The scene that takes place in a school adds to the authentic of the film. This i due t the film being independent meaning it had a low budget making the scene contrasting as they would have most likely used a real set for this scene additionally most likely used real school children / teachers and students also adding to the authenticity. In addition, Ozark's is in the middle of the USA so would be surrounded by quite a lot of dry land, however in the film we repeatedly see a lot of boats. This brings the idea to mind that Ree and her family are trapped in their own reality.
