Pros and Cons of Social Realism Films.

Pros
  • Can introduce the main characters quickly without giving away any of the story
  • They can show views and attitudes through the characters simply in the opening sequence
  • Social realism is easy to relate to, where as horror can be seen as less realistic
  • Locations can be easy to use, getting rural areas for social realism
  • Could be seen as easy to act out rather then acting in a horror film.

Cons
  • Have to be sure that you are getting the right location to portray the right social problem
  • Could be hard finding the right actors to act out the seriousness of an issue
  • Have to make sure that your not showing anything offensive to others (showing someone actually taking drugs)
  • If not thought about throughly it could be seen as to trailer like.
