Furthermore, the constructivist theory (discursive) deals with issues of power and knowledge. This suggests that the audience will react differently depending on their culture, beliefs and the way they have been brought up. For example; if a Working Class person living on a council estate watches Fish Tank they may be offended, while someone from a Middle Class background may find it amusing. These theories are all relevant within Social Realists.

Representation Theory
Social Realists use the Reflective theory which is the idea that what you are watching is exactly how it is in real life. They are social 'REAL'isms (the clues in the name). Despite this, Staurt Hall said that you can't expect everyone to depict the same message as the creator intended. In relation to the Social Realism 'Fish Tank', this is set in a council estate and deals with common issues related to living in working class area; such as little money, poor conditions and living off benefits. Fish Tank RE-presents the stereotypical view of working class estate living.
