Formalism VS. Realism
The terms 'Formalism' and 'Realism' is production techniques that is used by producers when they are making a film. Realism does not use any form of special effects that are generated by a computer or 'Green Screen', Mike Leigh uses this technique in the film 'Life Is Sweet' to give it a realist feel.
However the term 'Formalism' is shot in a way that things are 'staged', planned carefully and edited in a way that it has a certain affect on the audience. Formalism also uses special effects to make the film more dramatic. An example of a film that uses 'Formalism' is the film 'Kill Bill' produced by Quentin Tarantino.

Good comments on realism and understanding of formalism. Consider some more of of the formalist film making devices used, such as the impact of music track, diegetic sound, internal diegetic (character's thoughts) narrative sequencing, etc.
