Possible locations for British social ralism

Peckham

This is a landscape of Peckham. The area is well known for its run down and derelecit area , these areas have become a habitat for some of the most ruthless gangs in Britain. The buildings look very old and will not be expensive to live in , there are many council flats as well. This would be an ideal location for my british social realism film due to the fact it is run down and shows poverty as well hardship. One other reason would be the fact that if has british references , due to the fact there are many notorious gangs from this place , and an image of where many incidents happen will enlighten people of what actually happens in Britain.

Hackney

From this picture you can see the clothes outside , this is outlining the severe poverty in the Hackney Estate. As they do not have a garden to put their clothes up , neither is there a tumble dry or neither can they use their heaters . Also there is a lack of space , adn it is very congested. This is a very good location for a british social realism because again it shows the circumstances of some British people who are going through poverty. With poverty being a major theme in british social realism this image reveals the poverty in this area , however there is also violence in this estate. Pembury estate , it is called , it was part of the London Riots . The theme violence emerges from this due to the fact they are looting and fighting police. This is even better due to the fact it shows the ultimate corrupt estate as well as poor , you can see they are un educated other wise they wouldnt resort to such a level of violence.

Newham

This is a landscape of Newham. It is said to be the poorest borough of the United Kingdom. along with the most un employed people of Britain. This is straight away a fantastic destination for a British Social Realism , because people are not educated , therefore they resort to many other crimes. There are a lot of drug trafficking in Newham also , as well as the fact they was involved in the riots as well. Most of the buildings are council flats. Therefore British social realism films can show this unvarnished borough and it will probably create the most moving effect towards the audience, because of the fact it is severely corrupt.

This is a picture of a rapper from Newham , he raps about selling A class drugs including ; Cocaine. His appearance shows that he is of the youthful population , hwoever is well dressed due to the fact he is sellign drugs. However you can see the way he is rapping he is making gun signs with his hands , as well as the fact as rapping about gun shoot outs. Therefore somebody like this rapper , Morrison, defines what happens in Newham . One final thing is the bakground , it is almost an empty area , therefore he chose to do his song in a derelict area. Which shows even he is trying to show his hardship and where he lives is very poor. This would be a fanatstic place for a British social realism film.

Isle of dogs  

As you can see from this picture that most of the buildings in this picture are all flats. Also there are no cars , meaning that people cannot afford it therefore have to use the oublic transport. The fact that this is in london , is great for a british social realism. This is because most films show the good side of london , the nightlife and the expensive stuff. However they are not showing what truely goes on behidn the scenes , therefore to base a film in the isle of dogs will raise awareness of British realism.

This picture defines exactly what the unvarnished side of British social realism is. The picture above shows the pretty side however the other picture of the estate shows the rather unvarnished side. One thing british social realism films use is un varnished places , therefore this place will be perfect to shoot a british social realism film.
