Iconic Sounds Related to Social Realism

As social realism films focus on the reality and regularity of a particular situation, there are no particular sounds that are related to this genre. However, background noise is often enhanced and heightened.

Sounds that are often enhanced include:

  • Laughter
  • Background conversations 
  • Location noise (external = wind, bird noises, traffic, park swings swinging. Internal = television playing in the background, other people) 
  • Walking/steps
  • Public transport
  • Children screaming/shouting 
  • Busy roads
