Viewing Notes

• Ideology = anti-capitalism + feminism
• Spectatorship = spatial temporal alignment with Ree but also as an outsider, sociolect emphasises outsider of viewer
• Mis En Scene = clothes borrowed from the Ozark community
• Genre = neo-western, dark fairytale and neo-noir
• Sound = uses pleonastic sound to emphasise intense situations + folk song which is stereotypical for redneck families
• Context = Granik wanted to show the forgotten America, characters are from the Ozark + Ashlee owns the home
• Aesthetic = grim
• Cinematography = primarily hand held camera
• Representation = masculine violence + strong female companionship
• Editing = the invisible editing helps to create a realistic portrait of Ree’s life.
