Summary...
This year my aim was to make a new British Social Realist Film aimed at British 16-24 year olds. Me and my partner Laura had to produce the first two minutes of a film providing a clear sense of the graphical, editing and musical style that our film will be using. Within these two minutes we had to conform to the conventions of the Social Realist genre, and meet all audience expectations for this type of film.
The title of our opening sequence is 'Megan's Story', firstly this was a working title but as we got editing we began to really connect with it as we felt our opening sequence really is all about 'Megan's Story'. We feel that although it is very plain it is very informing and shows British Social Realism. It also connotes the films genre and tells us that Megan is the protagonist of the film as its all about her struggles. Also as Megan is an ordinary name we thought it would be perfect having it as the title as the whole film is based on 'Megan's Story' and it really gets the message across simple and effective! The themes this film explores are,
- Death
- Family and,
- Alcholism
A brief summary for our opening sequence is that Megan has just recently lost her father and therefore is forced to move home. Megan had to move schools and make new friends. Unfortunately Megan began hanging around with the wrong type of crowd as they influenced her to start drinking. This led Megan into coming home most nights drunk in order to try and hide her vulnerability from her friends and family. When one night her sister who was very worried began letting Megan know how disappointed her father would be if he were still here.

Our film explore British social Realism in many ways as we have used all real locations, everyday casual clothes, and obvious props like for example.. the vodka bottle!
