Fish Tank genre analysis.

How stereotypical is my chosen text to its genre?

The scene i will be analysing is shortly after Conner takes the family to the pond. the scene is when a woman comes to the house to tell Mia about a school that she has been accepted in to, but Mia doesn't want to talk so she runs out of the house and gos to a internet cafe where she watches videos of dancers. as she goes to leave she is confronted be some girls from a previous scene, and she meets them with hostility. 

The social realism genre often contains long editing, this is shone is fish tank when Mia is in bed, there is nearly 27 seconds of her just lying there. this is used it the social realism genre to make the film scheme more real, it shoes how slow pace life really is.

Another thing that is often in the genre is over the camera shots, to show life from the point of view of someone, often the main protagonist. this is scene in fish take when carrie is talking to Mia about the school. You see carrie and the living room over mias shoulder. this is used it the social realism genre so that you see the world through the persons eyes, and it helps you to gain empathy as you see everything from the is point of view.
