Summary of Interviews:

What British Social Realism films have you seen?
Almost everyone said they had seen Kidulthood, Adulthood and This is England. This shows that the target audience like films that include people of their age range as they can relate to these films.

What draws you into these films?
These people said the reason they were drawn in to these films, were because, they could relate to them as they included people that were their age range. They also said they like them as they are based on real life issues, which is what they like to watch as they find it more interesting. A lot of the males said they like them because of the violence too as they find it amusing.

What themes would you like to see portrayed more in British Social Realism films?
A lot of people said they would like to see violence. Someone said they would like to see more serious issues, such as sexism and racism. And others said they would like to have sex as a theme. Others said they would like to see life of how hard it is for people to get jobs etc, as you don't see that a lot.

Do you like our idea?
This is our idea: A teenage girl in year 11 doesn't have many friends. She lives in a rough area and doesn't have a very good family. Her teacher starts to sexually abuse her and she has no one to talk to, which results in things getting out of hand. She takes drugs and begins to self harm. she gets stalked by the teacher and got to the point where she couldn't take anymore so ended up killing him.
This was an idea me and Joe came up with to see what people would think of it and to see if it would be successful or not and whether to stick to it or come up with something different. Some people said that it was a good idea, but others said it was a bit dramatic and not very believable.

What characters do you expect in British Social Realist film/Does our character relate?
People said that our characters met the types in British Social Realist films, which was good. They said they would expect the girl to be terrified and basically not know what to do and the teacher to be a scary looking old man. They also said that in these films, they would expect, aggressive and bubbly characters, living in poverty.
