Dead Mans Shoes Analysis

The film dead man's shoes is a low budget British film with similar genres and techniques to our opening sequence. 

The film dead man's shoes focuses on realism through out the film, portraying the grittiness of lower class British society. This is done using mainly realistic mise en scene where nothing looks out of place, for example all the clothing fits the characters, the boiler suit and gasmask creates a sense of tension and fear within the audience while still being convincing, unlike many hollywood costumes. The housing, cars etc also are all convincingly realistic, the messy surroundings fit both the characters and the scenario.

Another technique that fits with our style and creates realism is the films invisible editing. Due to the low budget the film makers cannot/did not use over the top editing styles as many big budget hollywood films use. The film also uses varying transitions such as fade in fade out (invisible), the other transition is the white flashes, these create tension and adrenaline. The editing style creates realism and helps  'direct' the audience through the scene.
