Wasp
Wasp was produced in 2003, it follows the conventions of a British social realism film such as a lack of non diegetic sound, the use of realistic locations and realistic costumes. Wasp won best short film at the Oscars in 2005. It follows a day in the life of single mother Zoe and her four children, the use of ideology is present throughout the film exaggerating on the poor conditions these children are put in.
The opening sequence uses tracking shots to show the girls leaving a block of flats. There are straight cuts between each shot showing each of them walking down the stairs. They are all dressed in miss matched outfits and some are barefoot. This use of mise en scene shows their social standing as very low.
