Research / Diary Post 1- The Death of Subculture

Shane Meadows is a director I'm looking into because I'm a fan of his film,  This is England and also the series he has gone onto make from the film. In this clip he is mostly talking about his final series (This is England 90) but I'm interested in this particular interview because my idea for my film trailer will be based on a particular subculture between the 1980's and 1990's, as my genre is Historical Drama.

In the clip he says there was always a new subculture every 2-3 years, from skin heads to the raving scene. I'm delving into different narratives with different subcultures for now before I settle on a idea, for example if my trailer is set in the 80's but is based on a subcultural group I will have to design and look at costumes best suited for this idea or say if I am going to go down the 90's route I will have to compose and choose a soundtrack which represents that era.

Another reason for my interest in Shane Meadows is the fact Warp Films is an independent film company, I do not want my trailer to be seen as a blockbuster, I want it to be seen as a film which can relate to a national audience/ local audience and involve truthful hard-hitting subjects rather than it being glamorised and be made for entertainment, as I feel like the genre, Historical drama, should be informative or give a realistic representation.
