- Expect to see multiple film idents - film industry is risky so co-production spreads risks - see distributor ident as well as production company idents
- Low budget end - often see TV channel idents (BBC etc.) - also possibly see UK film council (now called BFI - British Film Institute)
- Working Title - subsidiary of vertically integrated Big 5 conglomerate NBC Universal - not as important (junior company) as conglomerate so last in series to appear and audio bridge to movie or not used at all
- Working Title - first look deal - therefore distributed by Columbia, Sony so no WT or NBC Universal ident is shown
FILM OPENING
- Narrative enigma - don't know where it is set however can see faces
- Very shallow field of focus
- Big close up
- Very thick and wide sideburns - working class - possibly connoting comedy genre
- Slightly long and unkempt hair
- Gold chain
- Man more in frame than woman signifies him as protagonist (he's also on top)
- 2 shot
- Red filter connoting set in past or porn
- Further exposition through mise-en-scene
- England football team large tattoo on back - big fan - association with working class
- Football jersey in shot
- Can of lager - working class anchorage
- Comedic genre pushed at start
- Assumed bedroom - narrative enigma - actually in store
- Sales - cheap beds
- Rule of thirds
- Girl covered - anchors man as protagonist
- Single mums wearing shell-suits and smoking - stereotype of working class with father leaving
- Contrasting with This is England
- Graffiti and boarded up buildings
- Didn't get much box office - too distinctively English for an American audience - had to change name from Grimsby to The Brothers Grimsby
- Columbia Pictures Presents - distributors
