  3.

Any other production notes.

  4. GenreHow are codes & conventions of living with crime & British Social Realism used within this film? • The location – its in the studio more real life audience able to relate to it real location. Important because we get an insight into her life, her council estate, A13 motorway way, estate in Tilbury in east London. There is also very big, vast and open spaces such as when Mia kidnapped Kiera near the end and took her to the marshes. The locations more like a fish tank for Mia she can’t get out she’s trapped doesn’t know how to get out. • Lets the emotion play out through the seen – Sex scenes and rape scenes, Uncomfortable for the audience to watch because we see Mia’s first time with her and it is a very important scene in the film. The film doesn’t use an ellipsis which is when we don’t sit there until the end we just see the time go by on the time. Instead we sit there with her the whole time so we see how it started from her coming down stairs to Conner getting up and leaving her to go up stairs. They had a lot of long shot when she walked when she was in her own mind which made the audience feel what it is to be her in her day to day life. There wasn’t much speech in these scenes just seeing some onlookers as she walks by or cars. • Non professional actors/actresses – chose to use people who are unknown in the film world or are known for social realism films so we don’t associate the characters to any other film • Semi improvised script – They filmed in chronological order wanted that realism to be made through the actors, the actors only got enough to learn the lines not enough to think about it fully so that the script is also new to them which makes it more their life as you don’t know what will happen to you day to day. • Triumph over adversity – very important through the film, she leaves her fish tank through Billy who is a traveller she leaves her troubled life to start a new life which is a triumph for her and there is a scene where the mother and two daughters dance together as a good bye which is a nice way to leave with out shouting as they would normally, the director couldn’t really make them say I love you to each other because they have been shouting at each other through out the whole film.

  5. The codes and conventions of British Social Realism are; • Location shooting (not studio) • Wide shots vs extreme close ups • Lets emotion play out through the scene • Non-professional actors • Semi improvised scripts • Humour and seriousness • The erosion of regional identities • Wider social issues explored via emotional and dramatic individual stories • Triumph over adversity
