Pudding Bowl Analysis

Pudding Bowl presents a warmhearted period drama focused on a young isolated girl who is made a mockery by her own family. The mise en scene used highlights the decade (70's) that the film is set, which creates a homely setting for two young children and their single parent mother. The types of camera work used such as a timelapse of the mother cutting her daughters hair with a pudding bowl demonstrates the techniques parents used to use to cut their children's hair whilst being money conscious back when this film is set. This however could connote the mother punishing her daughter for being irresponsible with glue, even though she wasn't aware it was a form of distraction her son created to sneak out the house to play with his friends.
At the end of the film the young girl plucks up the courage to run out of the house and steal her brothers bicycle from the side of the road where he was sitting with his friends. The camera movement and the filter placed on this scene makes the audience sympathise with the young girl for being brave and putting her brother in her place. The non-diegetic sound / music creates a heroic atmosphere which creates a sense of pride the girl has as she flicks the hair that she has left on her head in the wind, laughing smug.
