Inspiration:

 About a Girl: This film was used as inspiration as the main protagonist is shown throughout the short film as being alone, and also as someone who has experienced loss which is how i wanted my protagonist to be represented.

The Gunfighter: The idea of having a narrative voice that the characters can hear during the scenes is a good idea as it allows for the short film to be more engaging and additionally makes the film a lot more entertaining and fun.

Swimmer: The use of cinematic shots allow for the scene to be set in a more visually appealing way which i like, so in my film i will copy this style for when i am setting the scene

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.

Evaluation | It is what it is

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. Because of this we didn't have need for props or to set-up scenes, which added to the realism and also helped to create the idea of the mockumentary being based around Social-Realism and the idea that this is how Connor actually lives. This idea was supported from the opening scenes where firstly we seen an upward panning shot of the apartments in which Connor lives at, Followed next by a panning shot of Connors bedroom. Which presents the audience with a massive pile of rubbish and empty takeaway trays with food still present in them. 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
