British Thrillers... Dead Man's Shoe's

Most British films make use of the mise-en-scene the most! This includes the accents, settings and most importantly, London.
Most of the British thriller films are very low budget, an example of a low bidget British Thriller is 'Dead man’s shoe’s'.

But because i couldn't find the opening scene of this move, i will be looking at the trailer... In the trailer of this movie, you hear a voice over of the man talking, and this links in very well with our movie because we are planning on having a voice over in our opening scene, you will hear the girl who is the main character tell the audience her story... "...and this is my story"

Just like typical British movies, this has also used the mise en scene well to show the countryside of Britain. This is the first shot in the opening, and it is a establishing shot. After this shot, you have dramatic sound, and it goes black and white, this is a special affect used, and this shows that they are showing a flash back and looking into their memories, the fact that it goes black and white, it makes the audience feel like they are part of this film.

Also the man who is talking, has the typical British accent, this is also the great use of the mise-en-scene.

Although i havent analysed the opening scene of this movie, i believe that it links in really well with the type of movie we have decided to do. Our opening scene is also meant to be mysterious just like this movie. And it is suppoused to have a thriller/chill vibe to it and we hope to achieve this!
