Shane meadows started off volunteering at the Nottingham based media company ‘Intermedia Film and Video Ltd. It was here he was able to loan out camcorders and filming equipment, in return for his free work.
Firstly, Shane used his friends and family to star in his budget films. They were skeptical at first, but he soon had produced several films by himself. Although he had a small portfolio of films, he unfortunately had nowhere to broadcast them! SO, he and a group of friends decided to start their own film festival, called six of the best, in a local cinema.
Argueably, Shane’s most experimental film was a short 30 second film called stairwell. The film was filmed on a mobile phone, in an everyday stairwell in a block of flats. The concept is simply – someone running down the stairs and somebody running up, and they bump into each other. It sounds quite rubbish, but the shots used and even the non diegetic music adds to the tension.
