British social reality dramas are basicly films that depict as stated a social reality in Britain with a dramatic narrative. Shane Meadows is a very well known british director that follows this style or 'genre'. A big movement in the 1950's called the Kitchen Sink Realism movement focused on this social realistic representation of a working class lifestyle. It's focus was to depict a realistic representation of 'real' people and follow themes that were highly relatable to the majority of the population.
Shane Meadows works with low budgets and this coicides well with the movement that occured. He has a unique direction in presenting his ideology of a working class reality and this is reflected upon his personal lifestyle and unbringing. It's said that all his films are taken from the stimulis of his own childhood with mise-en-scene, location, and characterisation. So he uses local settings to heighten the realism and adds to the realatability factor.
It's obvious to see Shane Meadows does not follow popular conventions or applies himself to the money making populist approach as you see his films follow an autobiagraphical style.
Shane Meadows requested actors take an improvisational approach in which actors respond to each other without a script in order to generate a more natural conversation effect. Actors would also follow Stanislavski's techniques to create naturalism on stage/in front of the camera.
Shane Meadows is a huge influence to our opening. He strongly focuses on depiced a realism to relate and attract is audience's. This is a technique were also strongly focusing on, although our audience may be more narrower as were concentrating on a darker world of drugs and abuse rather than a comical outlet on working/lower class. Another focus was to really show a social reality, to show a lifestyle of complete obscene abuse, this reality is on the extreme spectrum to accumulate the Thrill. We need to concentrate on the narrative as our film is relying soley on this, like many British directors and productions.
