Pro's and Con's of Social Realism


The Pro's:
-
Incredibly easy to make on little or no budget; no special effects needed~
-
Can get a deep and meaningful message across about the abuse of drugs, alcohol, gang crime etc
-
Depicts real life rather than fantasy; shows people that life isn't a big Hollywood film

The Con's:
- Bury St. Edmunds is a very middle class area: there are no run down areas or high rise flats
- Depressing subject matters that people try to forget about are always the main focus
- Acting can be hard to pull of- more emphasis on the characters rather than the atmosphere
