This is england

1.How does the budget of a instituion affact the production practises used to appaeral to the target audience?
Shane meadows usually works on a low budget therefore he is forced to improvise features such as: speical effects,location,actors and camera angles. The film this is england is set in 1980, however meadows was unable to create a set due to the low budget therefore he had to find a location that hadn't been modernised since the 1980s. The actors used in this is england weren't very well estblished however this isn't necessarily a bad thing because(that with the lack of camera angles)creates social realism and makes the audience feel that they are veiwing and are involved in a real life situation which couldnt be achieved with well known actors or a variety of camera angles. The film hot fuzz has a larger budget and uses well known actors with the same techiniques from other films that the production team has made, this could limit the target audience to people that enjoy those actors style and the way the film is produced.
With each film meadows is widening his target audience; this is england focuses on the 1980s and issues such as viloence and bullying which again creates social realism allowing the audience to relate to the situation. the main chracter,shaun also invites a younger target audience as he is young himself; he is a likeable character because of the way he talks and behaves which could be improvisation from the actor himself. One of meadows techiniques is improvisation; he does this in the script, much of the script is formed by the actors themselves portraying a more realistic scenario in the film. The way that meadows doesn't focus too much on lighting and camera angles gives his films originality; it also gives the audience a sense of how people coped in the 1980s when unemployment was high and a war was being fought. meadows proves that a low budget doesn't create a poor film and that relationships with the actors and improvisation create success.
