Genre Study - Tyrannosaur (2011)

Tyrannosaur (2011) directed by Paddy Considine

This British Social Realism film follows In order to further understand our chosen genre, Social Realism, I felt it would be appropriate to watch films that are within the genre. I choose to look into the film Tyrannosaur, a film that follows a violent prone Joseph (Peter Mullan), and the events that lead him to change his ways. 

In this film, Paddy Considine creates a poignant story that revolves around two, initially, contrasting characters. It highlights a different perspective of how similar two peoples lives can be despite there class or background, and how they can come to support one another. 

(Joseph being threatening, This shows the violent qualities of a character who you eventually come to  sympathise with because of the ordeals he has been through)

(Hannah helps put a tie on Joseph, this is a very intimate moment between two characters who both share a tough life. It is also a very revealing moment for the audience as it shows a different side of Joseph)

(Joseph cries whilst Hannah prays for him, this is another moment that reveals to the audience and what Hannah also believes, that Joseph is a 'nice human being' despite his belief that he is not.)

How could this influence our Trailer?
The compelling story of the two characters, particularly Hannah, is a element we want to achieve in our trailers narrative. Hannah, a female protagonist, is a subject to sexual oppression in this narrative, an element that we are looking to incorporate into our trailer.
