Shane Meadows
Personally I feel that Shane Meadows is a extremely inspirational director as he can really create a scene in improbable situations, for example, I think there are very, very few directors who could have made "This is England" to the level and with the skill that shane did, as not only did he have the massive problem of time difference but also he had a limited budget (compared to that of hollywood blockbusters that is).
Shane Meadows first tasted fame in 1997 with his well received film "TwentyFourSeven", after that his talent and notoriety both grew largely coming back after some less successful films with "Dead Man's Shoes" in 2004 which boosted Shane's name to a new level and soon after earned his the title of Britain's 40th most powerful figure.
Shane's biggest successes are within the british film industry as his depiction of England and its people is often to "Dark" or "aggressive" for other audiences.
I feel that by focusing mainly on Shane's bigger film successes such as "This is England" and "Dead Man's Shoes" we will be able, like him, to achieve a realistic and effective film that can convey our ideas as well as possible.
Hi Zach,
ReplyDeleteYou blog is looking excellent so far - very detailed!
I know your group has also been looking for soundtrack inspiration from other films and researching music sources. Why don't you post a few examples and explain why you're looking for something similar? You could also post the websites you've been looking at to source the music.
Keep up the good work - well done!
