Social realism pros:
- Social realism is all around us. Especially in the news and other forms of media. This is a great chance to take ideas from real stories and cases in the present news and headlines.
- We know a lot about social realism as it is generally everyday life.
- There are many estates in Bury St Edmund's which can be used for the filming.
- You can be very creative with camera angles and also get creative with freehand filming!
- People would feel more comfortable acting this as they can be relaxed and themselves to an extent.
The con's:
- Bury St Edmund's is viewed as a middle class area. Seeing as most, if not all social realism films focus on the working or lower classes, finding a suitable area to film may be difficult.
- You definitely need the right sort of characters for your film! They have to have the right attitude to be part of a film with such a strong meaning.
- Thinking of a plot for your film may be difficult as many have been done and in fact over used!
- You have to be very careful about how you portray certain events (such as drug taking) as it may be offensive to others.
- It could easily seem trailer-like if you're not careful!
