I thought this article would be a good basis for a British Social Realism film as the idea I would show through this article is a lost man who is struggling at work and releases all his stress through domestic violence and I would show how this would impact the lives of his family around him, for example how the children are scared of men in their lives because of their father and how the mother is distraught. I think this article would connote the theme of Domestic Violence through the actions of the father, the theme of Escape which is denoted through how the mother wants to get rid of the problem and also the theme of parenting which is denoted through the bad influence the parents display in the presence of their children. I think this would represent the dominant father figure in the film as a weak person as he would use a negative way to feel better. This article is set Britain is this is connoted as the family is British and this fits the British Social Realism criteria. The possible protagonist in this film would be the mother as in a way she did try to exclude the children in the horrific situation her family was in and this connotes the representation of the mother figure as someone who wants to keep her children safe.
Second Article
I think this article is also another good base line for a British Social Realism as it reveals the everyday struggle the mother faces. I think a good storyline from this article would be that the mother finds out her twin sons has a disorder and is personally impacted by this through an event in her childhood such as her father whom she loved a lot left her passing away due to a disorder and this could lead to her believing that her children would also leave her one day which results to her killing the children and killing herself as she thinks that if she can't be happy with them on earth then she would kill them so they can be happy in the after life. This film would connote the themes of Disabilities which is denotes through the children suffering through their disorder of SMA Type 2 and through the mental disturbance of the mother. Also the themes of parenthood and violence is revealed. The possible protagonist in this film would be the nanny as she tries to help the mother and doesn't give up. The setting would be in an estate home as the mother would be not working if she is staying at home and the father would be working all the time as he is unaware of the situation at home.
Third Article
This article could be a start of a British Social Realism film as I had an idea that the film could start off with a hit and run of this boy which would be a Smash mouth opening and later the film shows how he struggles to live his life due to paralysis. I think the film would connote the themes of violence as the hit and run would be quite graphic as well as escape as the boy wouldn't be able to do anything about his paralysis so he gets bullied in school. I think the setting would be a gritty area for example Dagenham. I think the possible protagonist would be the boy himself as he learns how to deal with his situation and picks himself up along the way. I think this would be a good idea for a British social realism film as it would denote the everyday struggles the boy will face and it will be a sad story.
