The document summarizes how a film production drew upon conventions from social realism films and explored social issues, similar to other films in the genre like Dead Man's Shoes and This Is England. It discusses how the production used wide shots and location shooting to convey regional identities through accents and mise-en-scene settings, without dialogue. Still images from the production demonstrate its successful use of genre conventions that clearly link it to other films in the social realism genre, such as those by Shane Meadows and Warp Films.

Comparison with Existing Films
- 1. ● The first comparison illustrates the wide shots that are conventional in social realism films, illustrating Dead Man’s Shoes and our production ● The second comparison demonstrates the exploration of social issues in ‘This is England’ and our production ● Here you can see the presentation of regional identities in Dead Man’s Shoes via accents as well as mise en scene, something we had to convey without the use of dialogue.
- 2. ● Location shooting also took place within our production, as within Four lions Overall the production can be rendered a success in its use of conventions, and as these pictures demonstrate, it can be clearly liked to genre conventions merely by still images. As it compares to a wealth of existing films of this genre, such as Shane Meadow’s Work and Warp Film’s Four lions, this also contributes to this conclusion.
