Box office information:
Budget - NOT AVAILABLE
Gross - $18,000 (USA)
(Failed to get a UK cinema release)

Company idents:

• Alliance Atlantis Communications.

This film was funded by The Arts Council of England and the BBC. Alot of the low budget indie films like this are funded by these kind of companys. However when you get to the big budget american films it's a very different story! there are very few idents because they do not need the funding. The opening lasts for 1:10, this gives us a hint to what kind of film it is due to the long takes and lack of editing. It is A rural area up north stereotypical of a film produced by WARP. 

 It also for advertising reasons, Says a film by shane meadows, so it's giving him the limelight he is the person people may know due to previous films. The mise en scene was just like most of the WARP film a rural area/ counicl estate, run down with graffiti/litter etc.

Dead Mans Shoes Film Analysis (Shane Meadows, 2004)

Box office information:
Budget - NOT AVAILABLE
Gross - $6,000 (USA)
(Failed to get a UK cinema release)

Company idents:

• Warp Films
• Big Arty Productions
• Film4

It is a very well known film and highly rated by critics (even without a cinema release). The music in non-diegetic, that of an orchestra. The first scene is like a documentary. The footage is on what seems to be a hand held camera, to show that it is someones own filming. it is edited with a crackle effect with black and white, hinting it's the past. There is a flashback montage, from the present day to these videos.

It shows a few videos from the past, a montage. Then repeatedly cuts to the present tense where you are introduced to men in a two shot. It is then the titles and introduces the film with a two shot of what you think are the main characters.
