Hush- Independant Production Context

This film was writte and directed by Mark Tonderai. It is a film about a couple who on a motorway spot a truck with a naked woman caged up inside they notify the police and pull to a service station where the truck pulls into the driver kidnaps the girl and takes her away the man Zakes Abbot (William Ash) follows the truck to try and save his girlfriend Beth (Christine Bottomly)
This film is an Independant film It has one star in it (William Ash who was in waterloo road)
This film was funded by film 4 and x-warp which are independant production companies. The budget for this film was estimated around £1,000,000. It was filmed in yorkshire along the M1 in the UK.
In this film there were little to no effects used it is mostly camera work and good editing
The cast of this film is quite unknown except for william ash who has appeared in a few other things such as Doctor Who where he played Riley Vashtee and waterloo road where he played christopher mead he played many other parts in other films and TV shows.

This film i thought was brilliant i loved it, the narrative was strong, the dialogue fitted with the narrative brilliantly and it was an intense suspenceful film. It is probably one of the best independant films i have seen.

The genre of this film is horror thriller. There are many codes and conventions in this movie that relates to these two genres. First off the narrative has a very basic tie to the the horror genre it has a story of kidnapping and danger, the dialogue has some certain sentences that would fit only in to a horror movie. The Tag line is alos quite gripping and makes you instantly think horror or thriller. "Only you saw it. Only you can save them" it makes you think about the storyline which in a result promotes the film as its genre.

this film doesnt have many famous actors but it does have one (the lead actor) Zakes Abbott he is played by William Ash who has starred in waterloo road as Christopher Mead and doctor who as Riley Vashtee.

This film is quite obviously noticed as an independant production. You can tell by the filming and narrative because it's all basic there is no complicated narrative or furnished camera techniques, it looks as an independant film should look like.

In this film there were hardly any effects if none as it is independant the budget wouldnt allow overly amazing sfx but if there were any they wouldnt be too glamorous becuase of the production context, budget and the narrative which wouldnt really give much of a cause to have over used sfx in it
