Research and Planning - Social Realism Editing Research

After our first filming attempt, we have carried out some extra research as to what types of editing could be used. We have taken inspiration from iconic social realism director Shane Meadows and taken the above clip off YouTube. It contains editing methods such as over the shoulder shots tracking the characters walking.
Mr Meadows uses a method in which many different cuts are used in the same scene, to show different perspective. We will take this influence and incorporate it into our trailer. For example, for our establishing shot we shall take many shots of the high rise flats and show the location of them. Shane Meadows uses emotive music which could be re-created on GarageBand, many close-up shots of characters faces and shots in which break up the trailer.
