Social Realism

Social realism is the term used for work produced by creators that tries to draw attention to the everyday life of working class people and to voice the opinion of the creator of the social structure behind the position. Due to this genre concentrating on enlightening the audience on problems that exist in todays society, it usually focuses on drugs, class, religion, money and politics. Other conventions for social realism are

• Location shooting; being out in the real world to give a sense of factual information
• Non professional actors as to not draw away from message but also to not take the viewer out of the atmosphere with recognisable faces.
• Semi-improvised scripts to add to the atmosphere.

As much as possible to give the sense of real living over paid production.
