Production Log 2

During this week, i have been looking at different typical conventions that are likely to occur in British Social Realist films. For instance, the use of violence, bad language, and conventions to do with poverty are most likely to be denoted from the audience. During this week, i conducted a timeline to how British Social Realist films have changed over time. As time has passed, the conventions and themes established in these films are expressed more effectively in a way which the audience are felt more with the situation of the film. For instance, in KidultHood which was released in the 2000's, the story line contained more gritty grimy violence and language which related strongly to the situations that occur in Britain with its negative appearance. This will help with my production and it will help me in creating my story line in the similar style and appearance. I have also studied News stories of Britain and have realized the similar relation between British Social Realist films and the News. BSR films tend to relate very strongly with the reality coinsurance during Britain life. With this being put to thought, the audience are able to relate to the film whilst being already notified of the real situations that occur in their real world.

A text that i found was very influential to me was ''Nil by Mouth'' (1997). This involved a scene which revealed the corrupt domestic violence being acted upon a wife by her husband. This thing that caused this to be so effective was that when the women was getting abused by her husband, the us, the audience were unable to view the injuries being made as what she claimed to be on the floor.  This caused the audience to connote what the wife may be looking like as the abuse continued. Also, the scene was filmed in dark lighting   which caused the scene to be even more crucial to the audiences minds. Putting into consideration the BSR story line i have in thought, this scene from Nil by Mouth will help to create my production in more of a effective way so that it can reach out further upon its British targeted audience.

 For my production, in order to create my production is such a way of being represented as a British Social Realist opening sequence, i will try and put as many conventions as possible including the strong depth of British domestic violence being reflected upon and the use of strong bad language being expressed through the characters' words.
