Realism: an example of realism would be the film This is England. Presenting real world issues in a grounded setting. It uses natural lighting with simple cinematography as well as non actors playing roles to feel more real and less dramatic. following kitchen sink realism feeling more like a documentary than a made up story.

Expressionism: an example of expressionism would be the film trainspotting. Having scenes that reflect Renton’s mindset opposing what is really happening as seen in where him rummaging through a toilet is instead shown as him swimming in the ocean. This results in more abstract scenes which play around more with lighting, mise en scene and cinematography.

strike: The film strike reflects both realism and expressionism. Having the film portray the issues the real world workers went through as well as presenting them realistically. However intellectual montage is used in the film having antagonists represent different animals and acting in ways that are out of touch with reality. The rich in the film are overexaggerated wearing overly expensive cloths and drinking luxury drinks showing how the film is the directors perspective of the workers rather than the complete truth.
