Blurb

Hello, this blog covers all the research and planning into our slasher film opening, Camp Ivy. Co-produced with Kate and Millie, and influenced from films such as Friday the 13th and set in a rural location inspired by Eden Lake.

Are we Creating British Cinema?

I think we are creating British cinema for a number of reasons. Firstly, we are British and our production is set and will be filmed in Britain. Our location is in the Yorkshire country side and is quite a stereotypical area to represent this. All the cast in our production are British which means their accents are local to the area and the audience can easily use this to establish the setting for our production.

However, most films that are for a worldwide audience (USA) and that are set in Britain tend to use London or the southern countryside. They do this because it has recogniseable mise-en-scene and the accents are what other countries would stereotypically know as British. An example of this would be Bridget Jones' Diary and Notting Hill.
