Micro-features:
Mise-en-scene is important in this film as it is used to show the background/personality of Ree. Mise-en-scene is used to show where she lives and how little she owns. The house is shown to be dirty and small, but when she finds out she could lose it, she does everything she can to change that. The audience feel sympathetic towards Ree as the house is important to her. Even though she is a young teenager bringing up her younger siblings she will go to great lengths to keep her family together. She is brought up in a poor community where people try and do anything to help one another. The film makes an effort to show how little people own to back up the story line that Ree expects people to help her out but instead they try and deter her.
Cinematography is also important as throughout the film there are several scenes where it shows long/mid shots of Ree walking through the wooded area. This is important as it shows to the audience that she is determined to find out what happened to her dad. She will not be put off by any obstacle. It also shows the lengths at which she will go to for her family which again shows that she is a family oriented character and someone who will do anything for them.
