Similarities
8) How does the trailer for Ill Manors hook audiences into the narrative and pose questions that the film will answer? Identify 3 ways/techniques.
Ill Manors hook the audience into the narrative and pose questions that the film will answer is because the trailer clearly portrays the lives people who have been brought up in deprived areas such as council estates and the effect it has had on them whilst they were growing up. This hooks the audience into the narrative because, it it gives the audience a realistic insight of how people from deprived areas are coping and the problems they are facing every day of their lives. Also, the voice over of Plan B almost raping instead of telling the story in just words in the trailer is effective on the audience. This is because it could highlight how he directed/produced the film and it also conveys to the audience that Ill Manors is a reflection of his life when he was growing up in a council estate.
9) How does the trailer for Ill Manors balance plot and spectacle?The trailer for Ill Manors balance plot and spectacle through intriguing the audience about what is going to happen later on throughout the film. The flashbacks used in the trailer is effective as it would give the audience and insight of the character childhood and what let him/her in the position they are in now. Also, clearly conveys the main characters by repeating them therefore it allows the audience to identify who is the villain and protagonist.10) 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?
The certificate for Ill Manors is 18, which I think is suitable as the film includes sexual scenes, a lot of violence, and swearing. Difference:18 certificate contains a lot of violence, sexual activity, drug taking etc, where as in a 15 certificate there can be a a bit of sexual context however it cannot be detailed and must be appropriate. Drug taking can be shown however it cannot be promoted or encourage drug misuse.
