Preliminary Task

Evaluation of Gritty Realism piece (Video lost)

In what ways does your media production use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

We used the idea of social rejects to form a sad atmosphere which would ideally create sympathy for the protagonist from the beginning. This is commonly seen as young boys are often used in gritty realism films to portray socially outcast teens. We also kept the idea of run down, modest backgrounds which are used a lot in this genre.

How does your media production represent particular social groups?

Our production aimed to present social realism. we tried to do this by conveying common social backgrounds, like living conditions and presenting common teen attitudes and hobbies.
