1. Pitch

2. Research
Social Realism, an international art movement, refers to the
work of painters, printmakers, photographers and film makers
who draw attention to the everyday conditions of the working
classes and the poor, and who are critical of the social
structures that maintain these conditions.
Social realism traces back to 19th-century
European Realism, including the art of Honore
Daumie, Gustave Courbet and Jean-Francois
Millet.
Social Realism in cinema finds its roots in
Italian neorealism, the films of Roberto
Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica, and to some
extent Federico Fellini.

3. Plot Ideas
Idea 1.
The main plot focusing around drug dealing which ends up in a fight.
Idea 2.
Could involve some kind of abuse in which the main bad character comes
to a messy end.

4. Soundtrack Ideas
Theme tune e.g. Coronation Street
A soundtrack can be recorded music accompanying and
synchronized to the images of a motion
picture, book, television program or video game; a
commercially released soundtrack album of music as
featured in the soundtrack of a film or TV show; or the
physical area of a film that contains the synchronized
recorded sound.
Initially the dialogue, sound
effects, and music in a film
each has its own separate
track (dialogue track, sound
effects track, and music
track), and these are mixed
together to make what is
called the composite
track, which is heard in the
Often social realism
soundtracks consist of
grime music, lots of
dialogue, sounds you
would hear on a regular
day to day basis (such as
cars) and often sounds of
violence such as
gunshots and punches.

5. Location
In a Community
Council Estate

6. Typical Direction
Fast cuts
Montage of clips Shot reverse Shot
Text on screen
Cinematography
• Shot types used are often close ups and mid
shots. This helps to create tension with the
audience and makes them feel intimate with
the characters, or even intimidated by them.
Editing
• Social realism films often use straight cuts to connotate
and keep up the ideology of realism. Fades are also
used to show an ending, death or cross cutting. These
are used to continue the idea of reality.

7. List of what is needed to achieve
what we want to do
Have a good plot for the film trailer
Good actors
Good Props
Use an appropriate location (urban e.g.
council estate
This should be easy to find
Make sure it fits in with the genre
Planned out well with a clear beginning, middle and end
High quality video camera
Use a good editing software

8. How you will link to ancillary task
We will link our trailer to our Posters
and Magazines by having the main
character from the trailer in the
magazine and on the poster. They will
also include the name of the film and
information such as the age certificate.
We will try to make sure they look like
they are the same genre and that you
can tell they are from the same film by
using a continuous house style, colour
scheme and fonts throughout
