AS R+P Post 6: Our chosen genre and how we plan to connote this

We were inspired by the movies Fishtank and This is England to portray social realism in our film, being part of the teen drama genre. We want to represent real British life with all its hardships and class values-this comes under the drama genre.

This Is England

Our film will be part of the teen drama genre and will be a British indie film based in London. It will also have elements of romance and coming of age.
To connote the British indie genre, we will use a hand-held camera for some scenes to create more movement which will then create more realism, also connoting the drama genre. The fact that our film will focus on real-life problems and events will connote the drama genre. Our film is based around the lives of teenagers from 16 through to the age of 18 and this is why our film is a teen drama.
