Iconic Directors ~ Shane Meadows

Shane Meadows (born 26 December 1972) is an English film director and screenwriter. His films follow the style of 'kitchen sink realism' and have mostly been set in the Midlands. They often follow a semi-auto biographical basing on his own experiencs in Uttoexter.
 
A Room for Romeo Brass (1999)
Despite this film having more comdedic elements than dramatic it still portrays a gritty style through its naturalistic acting and suburban setting. As a group we are looking at a more built up urban enviroment but the way in which Meadows had captured this setting creates a very somber atmosphere that is higlhy effective. The same elements can be found in 'This is England', even though the story has more violent and contradictory themes, which is not something we are looking for in our narrative, the setting and style still portray elements of Social Realism.
