themes to consider in terms of are short film

There are 3 main purposes to make short films these are promotion, communicating a message and to experiment. my group has decided on using are short film to communicate a message, the message we want to communicate will be the main themes within it. social realism this is considered to be Britain's main cinematic style and is how we believe will give the strongest message to people. there are many themes that we will explore like the coming of age this is when your life comes into your life is no longer in the hands of others and you have to look after your self you make your own decisions. loss of community is one of the most common themes we have been studying and we are going to try and put that into are film, the loss of community was very dominant in the film "sold" by Nadia Attia this is one if the short films we studied in class and shows when a neighbor knocked for sugar at the main characters house he didn't even open the door just shouted throw it.

From the social realism films we have watched "this is Englandand" stands out to me as being very influential bringing up many themes of the time including racism and the youth culture at the time. we are also thinking of using the theme of youths the ways in which they don't think about the long term consequences of there actions. "dirty pretty things" is another film that we studied it is also in the genre of social realism showing the unglorified truth to what London is actually like there are many themes in this film but one that is very much big part is the black market in which the illegal immigrants have to live off it. we are also going to travel throw the black market and the dangers that go with it. we believe these are all very important themes to bring up to show a contemporary view on modern day Britain and get across the point that's it isn't just the lovely place that many films make people believe like in "urban fairy tales" this is why we are creating a social realism film. there are also themes such as multiculturalism, poverty and British identity which we will consider during the planing of are film.
