Production Log week 2

I have learnt about the many conventions that have been used in opening scenes of British social realism films across different eras over the past 50 years. Many of these films contain minimal dialogue, minimal camerawork and editing, introduces the main themes and include institutional information. This will help me in my production as I know what conventions to include and how to use them to relate to the audience to create a realistic image. This gives me a general idea of what a British social realism film is supposed to be like. In particular, Kidulthood has influenced me the most, because it is one of the most modern film I have analysed and it relates to how the real world is like right now. This film portrays the theme of violence which is also a recurring theme in the real world and this influences me to use that to conform that convention in my production. I will conform as many conventions as possible to create a realistic situation as shown in many British social realism films in my production. I will also use less edits and camerawork to keep in with the conventions. I also learnt that i should add the institutional information at the beginning of the opening scene to make it seem like an opening rather than a trailer.
