"A Room For Romeo Brass"
This film is based on the real life story of director and writer Shane Meadow. "A Room for Romeo Brass" was inspired by Shane's youth, like most of his films. All of his films are set in the Nottingham area. The films recall the kitchen sink realism of techniques. Many of Shane Meadows films consist of his autobiographical experiences throughout his real life. Shane is known to have a relaxed element to his directing style, encouraging the actors to ad lib to create a sense of reality into these films. He is known to be one of the rising stars of British cinema. The film follows the two young boys, the main character being Romeo and his best friend Gavin whilst they undertake a chaotic period in their childhood. Growing up with a tight knit relationship between them, things soon start to turn sour for the young lads.
The film starts with the rolling credits constantly skipping back and fourth to the boys playing around. It contains plain yet unique font with a black background, distincting the credits from the rest of the film. The soundtrack by "The Specials" (A message to you) sets the feel of
the film a playful, upbeat and catchy tune. As the skipping occurs the shots of the credits, the volume of the soundtrack appears louder though when action occurs in the opening the credits tune a little lower in order for the audience to hear the characters yet still have the music playing in the background. As soon as the music ends this establishes that the credits are over and the film is about to begin. The credits are used to break up the action and involve the audience more in the story waiting to see what happens next. The film uses the local locations from an estate in order for this realism to happen. A gray and moody film with a biting story line that features the true unexpected real life twists.

Although this film is not a thriller reflecting it to our final piece of a thriller opening, we plan to use the technique of action first then credits back and fourth in between the action of the clip as i feel that this use of method works well to keep the audience watching. This technique will also help if we have any jump cuts to break them up. It will add suspense to our piece which is one of our main goals.
