Research on Social Realism genre pt 2- Emma Robertson

I found this website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/britishfilm/summer/social_realism.shtml


This website was really interesting as it displays a map of the prime locations for a social realism film. Whilst looking at the map, the main location was in London.

Problems regarding our location

• Might not give a gritty feel to our production
  
• Doesn't symbolise the working class
  
• Unknown area- no iconography
  

Advantages regarding our location

• As the park location is not known, it will symbolise isolation and surrealism (as we have a ghost boyfriend)
• From the photographs I took of the Grattons Park it does not run down and the bench looks old and used- so it may create a gritty feel.
  
• We will be using establishing shots and hopefully beautiful frames of fields as Amie runs
