Mise en scene

I want my film to have a independent, gritty feel to it, in a similar vein to Dead Man's Shoes

, This Is England, Snatch, and other great films that expose the grittier, decaying side of working class England. I have come up with the term 'Rural decay' which is in a similar vein to Urban Decay but instead represents the many dilapidated shacks and farms that have been abandoned in the countryside. Part of the idea is that you can get away with whatever you want: -to use a cliche- 'noone can hear you scream'. If i was to make the film, i'm sure one of the taglines on the adverts would be: "If a man dies... [shot of finger pulling trigger] and there is noone...[camera zooms out, revealing a vast panoramic view] around to hear it... [shot of killer covering body in woods, continuing with his life as if forgotten, cut to cityscape of people going about their lives] did it even happen at all?
A good example of the type of feel i want my film to have is given off in this Libertines video, even though this is set in the city as opposed to the country:
