Comparing camera and editing conventions in both a british social realism and hollywood movie

Firstly, the first convention in which i will be talking about is the Camera Conventions which are as  follows: Hand held, slow pans or tracking shots, jerky camera movements, artistic establishing shots of location, medium/close ups of main characters, dull colour palate, location shooting and loose framing. Now i will be comparing the crab shot which is when the camera is moving sideways in a straight line in both a British social realism film and a Hollywood film to see how they use colours in a certain way.

Above is a clip from Made in Britain which is a British social realism film which uses a crab shot. The crab shot is used at the beginning where it is showing Trevor walking through a garage. A crab shot is used in that scene to show the surroundings of the character whilst he is walking to a certain place. However, comparing a crab shot that is used in a Made in Britain scene of Trevor's lifestyle to the avengers which is a Bollywood type of movie I can tell that from this clip below they don't use crab shots. This is due to they using mostly close ups and long shots of the scene as well as fast paced scenes when the protagonists are fighting rather than a crab shot to show all the action to create excitement and enjoyment more effectively towards the audience as more is happening in the scene than whereas in Made in Britain the crab shot is just showing Trevor walking. This implies that Hollywood movies are more dramatic than a British social realism like Made in Britain.



Secondly, the next camera convention in which i will be talking is the dull colour palate which is used in both British social realism and a Hollywood movie. The British social realism film in which i will be discussing is Fish Tank. Fish tank is based on a young teenager who is living a difficult life and have to over come obstacles that she has to face which effects her life throughout the movie. Whereas, in a hollywood film they focus more on heroes and saving things and they don't look into lives of individuals such as teenagers they just focus on entertainment and making their films dramatic for their target audience.
