RESEARCH INTO 'URBAN REALIST FILMS

MORE RESEARCH

This research is more concise and is focused mainly on urban realist films, which my film is. I have chosen to do general research and concise research so that I am able to see if there are different conventions which they use.

The characters in the poster of kidulthood are in a setting which symbolises between heaven and hell, of which they are placed in hell. They are looking directly at the camera, to intimidate the audience. Conventions such as institutional information and title come under the main image to imply that the actors have a higher status and are 'more' than that.

This poster is a lot different. The poster identifies inner thoughts and outside appearances. The institutional information and the title are all in the same area as the head, wanting the main focus to be on this. This is a very basic photo, however with the graphics of the images in the head helps to connote a real thoughtful issue.

-What are the differences between urban realist films/short films and high end feature film?
