Idents- BBC films and Scala
The film starts with a long shot for about 30 seconds and it is made obvious quickly that it is going to be a serious drama. The first thing you notice, along with the seriousness, is that the film is black and white. Only one star named at the beginning of the film, along with the directors name shown as 'A Shane Meadows Film'. The background is bleak and as the next shot appears so do more names. they are bold and in capital letters so stand out well against the darker background. The next shot is showing emotion of an older man, it shows the condition he is in and causes the audience to empathize with the character. The lack of dialogue makes it difficult for the audience to understand the narrative enigma of the film opening. it is the voice over that follows that indicates the accents of the characters and therefore perhaps a clue towards the location.
