iLL MANORS FIlm Research

Research all the Institutions involved in the production of Ill Manors. List them with a summary of what their contribution to the film was.
The institutions involved were Film London Microwave, BBC Films and Amimage. Its not clear on which institution had the most contribution but production was greenlit as part of the Film London Microwave Scheme. Also, BBC Films are involved in lots of other low-budget films such as Ill Manors.

How much Ill Manors cost to produce (its budget)
The budget was £100,000 and made £453,570 at the box office after a total of 8 weeks.

How was Ill Manors funded?
iLL MANORS was funded by the lottery and also some of Drew's own funding as he had to go on tour to get the funding started.

What is the target audience for Ill Manors?
I think the target audience for iLL MANORS is 16-30 year old's. This is because people of these ages can still relate to parts of the storyline(s).

Who is the main distributor of Ill Manors?
The main distributor of ill manors is revolver entertainment as the rights to the film were sold to them in April 2005.

How was Ill Manors promoted?
iLL MANORS was promoted through Revolver Entertainment but also through the use of Plan B's music videos and such promotions as his TEDx lecture allows different audiences to be informed of the film.

Compare this with a big budget blockbuster. What are the main similarities and differences?
There are many similarities and differences when comparing iLL MANORS to a big budget film. One similarity is that the the main protagonist is the inly one to survive and go on to lead a normal life. A difference is that iLL MANORS is a low budget film. Another difference can be that iLL MANORS used non-professional actors aswell as professional, whereas a big budget film would use only professional actors.
How does the trailer for Ill Manors hook audiences into the narrative and pose questions that the film will answer? Identify 3 ways/techniques.
The trailer is set in the form of a music video. this helps to hook in the lower age demographic as this audience is more likely to watch music videos more often. Another technique is using Ben Drew to rap as narration to the trailer. This helps to hook the audience as a lot can be said in this short amount of time to which questions can be answered in the film itself.

How does the trailer for Ill Manors balance plot and spectacle?
8 different stories and narratives are shown. Each narrative weaves and connects with each other throughout the movie. In each story, there is a fair amount of spectacle, so I would say the balance is quite fair.

Think about the certificate of Ill Manors (18 certificate). Research film certification and outline what is deemed acceptable for this certificate. What is the difference between a 15 certificate and an 18 certificate?
A 15 certificate includes such things as strong language, a lot of scene consisting of violence, strong indications of sexual content as well as discrimination, regular use of drugs, nudity and sexual scenes.
A 18 certificate on the other hand is similar but at a more severe level. It includes such things as extreme strong language and regularity of swear words. A vast use of sexual language as well as sexual intercourse,  blood and gore and much references to ethnicities and discriminatory language.
