Social Realism is a genre of media that is seen in various different types of media, ranging from art to music to film. Social realism is much based around how life is really experienced for people, particularly those of the working class or from a poorer background who struggle to live in some cases. Social realism often revolves around and contains themes of, what would be considered, 'problems in reality' within these lifestyles, and carries lots of typical themes and ideas within it. I will however explore these themes later on in my research...
I created a small collage of various (and famous) film posters that are predominantly, or at least slightly built with, based around and includes many features of the social realism genre.
Whilst I was going about my first pieces of research for the social realism genre, I found a very nice segment of a documentary piece by BBC2 called 'British Film Forever - Social Realism'. In this footage, it briefly explains the genre of social realism and shows the opinions of it from the point of view of people who work in the media and some of whom have worked within the genre themselves.
