Hello there, welcome to my blog. feel free to leave any comments! You will find a variety of posts on the background research and planning into my slasher film opening, High Royds, being co-produced with GeorgeH and CurtisT. This blog is mainly influenced by the work of John carpenter and his franchise, Halloween.

This is england Budget, Box office + media language



Budget:

 £1,500,000
Box office:
 £1.3m $320,000



Media Language in Film Opening:
Idents: Optimum releasing, warp films, film four, funds from the national lottery, UK film council, em media, screen Yorkshire, Big arty productions. this tells us its not high budget film. you wouldn't see harry potter been funded by the national lottery.

it starts with a montage of clips from the past, we know they are from the past due to the quality of the camera. It shows mainly Margaret thatcher in not a good light! 

in the titles its a back background with a sans cerif font in white. The letters on the titles look decayed and old. which is all through the film opening; graffiti on the walls, old run down cars and litter on the street. The Directors titles are shown as 'A Shane Meadows film' its like a form of advertising because of the reputation of the director. He is a famous director so people will buy the film. This is why they call it his film.
