Social Media

 

We have created a Skyline Studios Facebook page to promote our trailer and get feedback on our ideas and experiments.

For example we posted asking which name people would prefer for our film in order to get audience opinions.

 

We also created an Instagram page for people to follow to find out more about our film, White Ribbon and follow the creation and promotion processes.

Social realism genre

We have done some research into social realism following our recent change of genre.

The introduction of social realism to film was to bring authentic representations of the working class to screens, which were often absent from the mainstream British media and culture at the time (mid 1950s).

During the early sixties, rough-edged, often black-and-white character pieces, often referred to as “kitchen-sink dramas,” narratives became more popular and at the end of the decade, Ken Loach, a political filmmaker, took social realism even further with the ground-breaking Kes, a tough and grimy portrait of a boy in a Northern England mining town, featuring nonprofessional actors.

The legacy of British social realism continues more recently with the work of many filmmakers, such as Mike Leigh, Lynne Ramsay, and Andrea Arnold.

Poster

Poster Inspiration

This social realism poster is simplistic yet effective. We would like to portray this kind of stylistic design and make an understated poster that leaves the audience intrigued and doesn't give too much away.

We also looked at this poster for the social realism film, Fishtank. We really like the spaced out simplistic font and again the understated effect that the poster has.
