Realism.

Although the term realism in cinema is defined by film that deals with big social questions such as was and poverty, the conclusions we can draw from the pictures is that:

Realism is an aesthetic construct (a created 'look') put together by conventions that are agreed upon at any one time. This 'vision of the future' was an 80's based sense of realism.

There is no single 'realism, different cultures and contexts produce different forms.

Photorealism - Realistic to the point of photographic quality by using modern technology.

Actuality - Actual footage. CCTV cameras, documentaries etc. But these can be staged for dramatic effect.

Realistic Violence - Things that wouldn't normally create a big impact are exaggerated to give maximum effect and drama.

Realism can be faked, due to technology that can enhance realism, and it shouldn't be mistaken for being authentic. Styles of realism change according to the time periods in history.
