This document provides location ideas for filming a social realism genre film. It suggests using a flat to film in, as the cramped space would fit the genre. Specifically, it recommends filming the opening scene in a basic, dark kitchen of a flat to convey the characters' poverty and social class through the mise en scene. The flat locations would help establish the chosen genre of social realism.

2. Here are examples of social realism location ideas
which are flats.
In my film I believe it would be very effective if I
used a flat to film in as it would add to the overall
chosen genre which is social realism.

3. As my opening scene is going to be filmed in a kitchen inside a flat, I want the mise en
scene to be dark and very basic as shown in pictures above as it will show the plight of
poverty in which the characters may endure on a day to day basis, outlining their social
class and genre- Social Realism.
