3)What similarities and differences are there between the music video and the lecture in terms of promoting the film to the audience. 

2). 
In both video Ben Drew talks about about: chavs and youths. Who live in bad estates and in a bad environment. Ben Drew is showing the audience why these people are called chavs and how life really is for 'chavs'. Ben Drew is trying to get to the audience telling them how hard life is in 'chavs' situations and he's trying to tell the audience that these people are presented in a bad way in the media. Ben Drew is trying to tell these people that the word has been misunderstood and tell the audience why these people are in these situation and he believes that the word has been thrown around way to easily and people are labelled with this word easily. At the Tedx lecture he talks about the history of the movie and how he got the money to produce this movie and this could lead the audience to watch the movie as the budget was very low and it was very method on how he got the money. The main difference is that in the music video Ben Drew was informal- the way he communicates with the audience. In the music video we hear swear words, whereas in the tedx lecture we don't hear Ben Drew using bad language.
