How typical are your chosen texts of their genre?
My first studied text is 'Fish Tank' which is typical to it's social realism genre due to particular conventions such as the representation of real life with all its difficulties, hand held camera work, and predominantly diegetic sound.
The use of hand held camera work, specifically the frequent use of a shallow depth of field is used very effectively in this text as it captures in the narrative exactly what the eye would see. This causes the audience to feel as though they are directly viewing the film as it is happening.
