Ill Manors Film trailer.


  1. What are the typical codes and conventions of film trailers - what information is usually provided?
  2. How are trailers distributed
  3. How does Ill Manors use trailer conventions?
  4. Who is the target audience? Does it have a unique selling point or use particular techniques to appeal to the audience? Consider the way the scenes are edited together – does the trailer give away any clues about the narrative? Are the main stars visible in the trailer? Is there information about the director of the film? Is there information about the release date? Is a narrator’s voice-over used? 
  5. How has the genre of the film been represented through characters, settings, lighting, colour, music/dialogue, camera shots/movements/angles and editing?
1) In the ill manors trailers we see many trailer codes and conventions. Firstly we see the production companies at the start of the trailer. Then we see quotations from magazines throughout the trailer. We see the main actors in the trailer. In the trailer we also see the location.  Also the trailers usually have a soundtrack or a narrator telling the narrative. 

2) Trailers are usually distributed on: T.V, Radio or cinema screens and internet.  Same movie distributors advertise on each other cinema show. 


3) The characters are introduced and it builds suspense as we see the characters in serious situations, but we don't know why they're in that situation- which builds suspense.  Then we see the location being introduced when we see a birds eye view shot of east London and tracking shot on the motorway. The title of the movie is shown in bold large text. We see quotations from magazines and newspapers which could attract more viewers who read the magazines or newspapers.  Lastly in the ill manors trailer we see the production companies. 


4) The primary target audience for this move are people aged around 16-30 adults and teenagers.  It could also attract people who live in east London as the movie is set in East London.  Also it could attract plan B's fans as they like his music and they would want to see a movie produced by him.  The USP for ill manors is two main selling points which are mentioned above. Firstly the location which isn't used in movies and the Plan b the fans as they would want to hear the music in the movie and this would make them watch the movie. 


5) The setting is very dull and boring and its a very scary environment as its full of drug dealers and raw estates. Which are quite close to city as we can tell because the flats aren't really developed and when you get closer to the city the housing is worse and we see more flats.  The genre is presented as very boring and very intimidating as that't how some parts of east London are and its presented very realistically.
