Director; Edgar Wright
Cast; Simon Pegg, Nick Frost
casting director knows
they work well together and
has used them before.
Location; The opening is located in London
this is shown by the iconic images i.e Big Ben,
Metropolitan police station and the underground
are all shown. The location then moves to
Sanford, Gloustershire, this is a big contrast to
London as it has fields, famers, churches and
everybody knows everybody.
Stereotypes; In London it shows the
stereotypical City scenes of red buses,
Big Ben and the smart Police officers
investgating crime scenes.When the film
location changes to Sanford the stereotype
changes also, to the old fashioned pubs
and villagers who dress like farmers
and knoweverybodies business.
Humor; The style of humor in this film is
derived from the existing perceptions of the
police. The contrast in the stereotypes of
Police officers from different areas adds
humor. There are also elements of slapstick
in this film too.
Camerawork & Editing; There are lots of extreme close ups to catch facial expressions wich adds to the comedy. It uses fast pased editing to make mundain tasks seem exciting imitating the action genre also adding to the humor of the film. The pace then slows right down when the location changesto country side, showing the characters boredom and contrasting to the past paced City.
