An intelligent and thought-provoking dark comedy, ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ (2006, Dayton & Faris) focuses on the lives of a family, and each member’s displace within the modern American world. The film garnered outstandingly positive reviews with a 91% ‘Fresh’ critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with one reviewer stating, “…this sparkling little gem takes the family road trip movie to unhoped-for heights of hilarity and humanity.” (Angie Errigo, Empire) However, it is the film’s use of micro features, most prominently cinematography such as high-angle shots and grading, sound – both diegetic and non-diegetic, and specific aspects of mise-en-scene such as costume, that present the concept of the American Dream and the struggle to achieve it within the competitive modern world.
An opening scene of a film is crucial in regards to the introduction and portrayal of characters, and ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ is no exception. Firstly, the audience are introduced to the character of Olive (Abigail Breslin) via an extreme close-up of her innocent, bespectacled eyes. The diegetic sound layered over the shot is sourced from the beauty pageant the young girl appears to be watching on the television, suggesting that this is clearly something she is interested in, and is watching intently. The announcer appears to be unveiling the winner of the competition, and this is proven with a reverse point-of-view shot of the television screen and the crowning of the winner. The extreme close-up secures a correlation between the introduction of the first character and of the characters yet to be communicated to the audience by introducing the theme of dreams and the aspiration to achieve them, and their misfit status within society. As the shot expands into a medium, low-angle shot, it becomes evident that Olive wishes to become a beauty queen, as she mimics the actions of the woman on the television. To further prove this, she pauses and rewinds the show, disbanding the belief that she is watching the show live, and has in fact recorded it, signifying that she has viewed this particular moment many times, and aspires to be just like the woman on television. With the expansion of the shot, the audience are also presented with the mise-en-scene of the scene, including the girl’s appearance. She is clad in mismatched clothes, with pulled back hair and a chubby figure – a contradiction of the woman she wishes to be, presenting the notion of her misplace within the world and the desire to be someone she is not. This, in turn, introduces the film’s consistent, underlying irony. The instrumental, non-diegetic music further epitomises this.
