SOCIAL REALISM
Social Realism is the genre we have chosen for our A2 practical (film teaser trailer). We chose this because we wanted to focus on real issues, such as abuse, crime, teenage stress and bullying.
Social Realism is an international genre, which is particularly popular in British and French cinema. The characters, dialogue and settings are all made up but are inspired by the real world.
Better than any other genre, social realism has shown us to ourselves, Pushing the boundaries in the effort to put the experiences of people on the screen, and shaping our ideas of what British cinema can be. While our cinema has experienced all the fluctuations in fortune of Hollywood's first export territory, social realism has been Britain's richest gift to world cinema.

A few examples of Social Realist films are as follows:
*Juno
*This Is England
*Fish Tank
*Billy Elliot
*Bend It Like Beckham
*Kidulthood
*Kes
*The Full Monty
