My main method of research for this assignment has been internet research which has been very productive. I tried another method of research which was to find magazines with articles on Dead Man's Shoes at the university of Brighton library but only found one physical copy which was a issue of Sight and Sound magazine. The other magazine articles in my research came from websites.
My internet research was very successful as I found at nearly everything I needed to know about the financing, production, distribution and music rights of my film. Although unfortunately I was not able to find out the name of the music supervisor during my internet research of my film. As I have already mentioned above my magazine article research was fairly unsuccessful but I think this was because the library did not have issues of other film magazines with articles on Dead Man's Shoes which I ended up finding online.
I think what I would have done differently would have been to interview someone who had worked on the film and looked for magazine articles on Shane Meadows and Paddy Considine. These processes may also be used to find out completely different information about the film for example its rating on IMDB. The validity of the information collected from each method of my research is very strong as they are backed up by sources and are written by professionals and experts. Overall I think I have my research has been very successful although a possible weakness is that one or two websites I looked at for research did not appear to have an author.
I found that websites like IMDB, Wikipedia and official Dead Man's Shoes and Shane Meadows sites to be the most helpful in my research. The film review sites and forums I found were only helpful regarding the genre and audience part of my research. Online newspaper articles were also very useful in my research of Shane Meadows and Paddy Considine.
