Beachcombing for Inspiration

This type of area for my film as it shows the theme of poverty. The people there do not have much as it is a rundown estate. When someone lives there it shows that they are working class people and show that they only have simple and basic things in life. I think an area like this is effective and it brings out the struggles in someones life as what British social realism do. It would think about also place like chicken shops or fish and chips shops as they are not as expensive as other restaurants and they are basic.

There areas would also include graffiti with different gang names to shows it an area with lots of different types of gangs. Also as they have been messing up the streets with there graffiti work which could show poverty.

The type types of activities these people could be doing is teenagers like taking drugs and drinking a lot as it shows there struggles in society and that the young are up to no good. 

I like the idea of people walking out of place like this. This will show that the person have be up to no good with the law. This lets the audience want to know why they was in a prison. 

In the show top boy the characters in the show top boy. I think the way that they dress has inspired me for my film as it shows how people would dress who live in area that are run down and are of working class people.

Here is a video of the opening sequence of top boy. I think that it is effective a it show the establishing shot of what the area is like and how the people there live in it. I think it is effective as you see what goes on in area like that. 

This song has inspired me as i think it would be a perfect type of song for a British social realism. It is upbeat and is a grime song. It is about getting money and about people being with their crews. 

 These are the types of clothing that I have been inspired by. This is because the clothing is cheap and they are not wearing much expensive clothing and everything is basic and worn out. The boy are dressed up in hoodies and girls have big hooped earnings looking like a chav.      


The film shank has inspired me as it talks a lot about gangs and it involves the theme of violence.


I would include big clear typography to suit the theme of what I am taking about. This has inspired me as the credits are clear to see and it flows in with the opening sequence but it is not blocking the film at the same time


The actors that have inspired me is the young girl from London to Brighton. This is because the acting that she does seems very natural and it feels realistic
