In reference to what I have been doing this week, I have discovered numerous things about British Social Realism Films, to do with codes and conventions and target audience etc.
In one of my other blog posts i analysed the film Kidulthood and the Mise-En-Scene features used in the film. I've learnt that production design is a vital feature when making a British Social Realism film, because it allows the viewer to have a visual representation on the actors, and allows the audience to discover the actors personality. The characters used in British Social Realism films are vital because at the end of the day, the films aren't allow about special effects and the use of CGI, but rather the real life presentation the audience experiences. For example in Kidulthood the use of characters, where imperative because they are using conventional aspects to make the film more up to date with the current generation, this may be the use of teenager characters, using slang in dialogue which is very common in deprived/council house areas.
Also during this same week, we viewed a film under the production name 'The Selfish Giant'; The Selfish Giant is a 2013 British Drama film directed by Clio Bernard. The Selfish Giant is a contemporary tale about two scrappy 13 year old boys, who live among a working class society and peruse illegal scrap dealing. This film was very emotional and heart touching as, the realism of the film made viewers realize this is a real thing people face especially among the working class society.
Watching these two British Social Realism films, definitely allowed me to gather more knowledge and understanding of what a British Social Realism film requires, therefore I will be able to implicate and apply this knowledge and understanding in my own production.
