Defining British Social Realism

What is British Social Realism?

British social Realism have character that would be working class or below working class. It would show their struggles in their everyday life and it show real life situation. Setting of these places would include places like alleyways and estates or even places like chicken shops which are all mostly run down places. It show the gritty and urban genre of the everyday life. It show the social and racial injustice as everyone is not treated equally. Also it in unvarnished as it show all of the bad parts. It looks at themes like sex, drugs, poverty, religion, childhood and many more themes that are related to British social realism. They show these themes as they are popular problems that are happening in Britain today. Examples of British Social Realism are  Kidulthood, Ill manners, Kes and many many more .

From what all of these clips I have found out the Nil by Mouth is the one I would like to watch.This is because of its gripping story line and the editing that they done. They made the storyline really gripping and effective because when the women was getting beaten up it did not show what she looked like when she was beaten up. This was really effective as the viewer has to imagine what she looks like also because you can hear her screaming and it sound painful.

British Social Realism have evolved over the last fifty years as the storyline over the years have become more interesting as the story lines along the year have become more gripping as the story lines are more dramatic. Also as the themes are becoming more dramatic over the years. The editing over the years has developed as at the start there was not much editing in scenes and they left the shot for a long period of time and now there is more editing making it more interesting. It has also changed by the way the children look now with the costumes.
