2) The budget was £100,000 (£453, 570 in box office).
3) To raise finance, the distribution right to Ill Manors was sold to Revolver Entertainment in April 2011. It was also funded by the three institution companies involved, BBC Films, Film London Microwave and Aimimage.
4) The target audience for Ill Manors is teenagers/young adults who face similar issues and problems that characters in the film do. This is because they can relate to the situation and therefore the film is aimed at them as they face similar day to day struggles.
5) The main distributor of Ill Manors is Revolver Entertainments. In order to raise funds for the film Ben Drew sold rights to the company in April 2011. Revolver Entertainments was founded in 1997 and has releases independent films and documentaries since.
6) Ill Manors was promoted on The Guardian's website on 3rd May 2012 for it's trailer and revealed by Empire magazine's website on 8th May 2012 for the Ill Manors poster. Digital Spy promoted Ill Manors by two other film posters on 18th May and 7th June 2012. Also, the premiere of the film was on 30th May 2012 in London and released to 191 cinemas in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
7) I will be comparing Ill Manors with the big budget blockbuster Taken 2. I will first talk about the main similarities. Both films were released in the year of 2012. Ill Manors starred already famous Plan B and Keith Coggins, while Taken starred stars Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace. Both films include similar scenes of drugs, sex and violence and have background stories that involve prostitution. This is interesting because Taken represents prostitution on a larger scale where it is accepted and people do it for fun, whereas Ill Manors shows it as something that has to be done rather than an option or choice. The main difference is obviously the budgets for the films. Ill Manors budget was £100,000, but raised £453, 570 in box office. Taken 2 production budget was $45 million, a massive difference. The Ill Manors distributor was Revolver Entertainments, Taken 2 was Fox. Ill Manors genre was British drama, Taken 2 was Action. The total running time for Ill Manors is 121 minutes, Taken 2 is 91 minutes.
8) The trailer for Ill Manors contains enigma codes that hooks audiences into the narrative. During the trailer it asks 'But what influences..the choices you make?'. This is indirectly talking to the audience as it is trying to engage them into the trailer. At the start of the trailer Kirby says that he has kept Chris in business every since he was small. This diegetic sound hooks the audience in and makes us want to find out more. The non-diegetic sound of the narrator (Plan B) is played and engages the audience as he is talking directly to us and introduces himself as the narrator.
9) The trailer for Ill Manors shows scenes of the film therefore reveal some of the plot and give the audience an idea of some of the themes for the scenes.
10) A 15 certificate involves strong language and violence, however not a huge majority is shown. Drug use is allowed, although it must not be encouraged to be taken. Sexual content is allowed but if sexual violence is shown, then it must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification. An 18 certificate involves very strong language and violence which is likely to be continued throughout the entire film. Sexual activity/context is also shown. Blood, gruesomeness and explicit sex scenes are shown. Ill Manors is an 18 certificate and contains context from an 18 certificate such as strong language, violence and real sex scenes therefore is suitable for ages 18 and above.
