Fish Tank is a social-realist film set in Tilbury, Essex, which has a reputation for its crime and anti-social behaviour. In the film there is no non-diegetic music or sounds to give a sense of realism. To add to the sense of realism all the camera work is handheld and it is all tracking shots, following Mia and showing the world from her point of view. This movie has some similarities to famous 60's social-realist films such as 'A taste of honey' and 'Saturday night and sunday morning'. These similarities include an urban setting. 'Saturday night and sunday morning' was set in Nottingham, and Tilbury is surrounded by motorways above the river Thames.
