Plan B Print Texts : Interviews

Q Magazine 

I would say that the target audience for the Q magazine interview are those who are continuously following plan B and how are fans of him. Again aspires/ explores will be targeted more towards them. The demographic following for this interview I would say is C1 or C2 below. The interview is fairly causal however, talks about how Plan B wanted to create a controversial track again in order "get under peoples skin". Therefore, this is entertains those who are viewing it in a sense as they get a sense of excitement as Plan B is going against authority. For the interview for Q magazine their is a section where individuals are able to put down their personal views about the interview. However ,this one in particular no one had given any feedback or any sort of comment. The interview does follow a narrative partner in a sense as plan b had stopped making controversial music and then he done it again however, it managed to reach the charts and topped no 1. Therefore, it follows a narrative pattern in a sense as at first no one listened to the music that was controversial at first however, now they have done and it's done relatively well in the marketing and charts overall in the United Kingdom.

Men's Health Interview 

I would say that the target audience for the Men's Health magazine for Plan B's interview is primarily C2/D/E demographics specifically for this interview due to the fact that it's more of an insight into plan B not into the movie there for high classes that may know about Plan B's movie may not find this text appealing. I would say aspires would read this text due to the fact that they may aspire to get fit and healthy like plan B. The platform of the interview of Mens Health is being used in order to motivate others who are de-motivated in order to lose weight therefore, witnessing a star that individuals may look up too they may be motivated in order to be like plan b and loss weight. The article of Plan B for men's health entertains in a sense due to the fact that the language that plan b uses during the interview. he isn't hesitant with the language he uses in. furthermore, it informs the audience in the way that they should loss weight as it's essential for them to do. There is a platform for individuals to take part and participate in as they're able to add comments about whether they enjoyed the article etc. In addition,  narrative is used in the text as we witness Plan B talking about how he cut his alcohol consumption and then became fit. Where is strolls/walks in the parks gradually started to become runs in the park. Then the weight went away and he came much fitter than before. As a person overall he feels more better and fitter whereas, before he didn't as much.

Guardian Interview

I would say that the target audience for this interview of plan b interview are those who want to know about plan B so a demographic of B below. Fans of Plan B would like to know why he started music and his background growing up. The Interview is full on interview about Plan B's life story it's and in depth about his up's and downs from the start till now. The article informs the audience of what has been happening in plan B's life and the way he has succeeded over the last few years. The article doesn't allow the audience to interact as in adding comments however, allows them to share the actual article via twitter.

Shortlist Interview

The short-list interview is again similar to the other target audience mentioned. Again its more towards critic in a sense however, Plan B's fans. The demographic for those willing to read the text will be C2/ D .The text is more of a relaxed interview where we again see Plan B use language that is inappropriate however, he still uses it suggesting he doesn't care at all what people think about him. The interview is relatively entertaining due to the fact that he talks about the experiences he has gone through during the process of producing ill manors. Furthermore, it's relatively a relax interview as he seems to be fairly open with the language used including in the way he's projecting himself. The platform allows the audience to take part into and contribute as they have an 'add comment' section where individuals can give their say about the article of Plan B's interview. Narrative is used in the story for instance, we see plan B having a problem as he hasn't slept in 48 hours then he had a tour to do. furthermore, he lived on alcohol and red bull of the period of time during that period of time he was 'smashed' through the lack of sleep he had. however, in the end he preformed well and done what he needed to with the influence of alcohol. In addition, he told another story about how a guy was trying to get his girl friend to sleep with plan B. Plan B found her relativity attractive and gave the example of the devil on one shoulder and on the other an angle telling him not to sleep with her. In the end he morally did the right decisions and didn't sleep with one of his fans girlfriends.

How does the institution take an original and positive approach to road safety advertising?

The institution makes a very clever approach to road safety by showing us that this can happen any time. One of the techniques that they used was the slow motion. The  use of physical theatre makes the idea more original and it also shows family values by making the kid and mother being the seat belt it shows that they are the shield of the dad.

Ill Manors Trailer

What are the typical codes and conventions of film trailers - what information is usually provided?

The general codes and conventions of film trailers are to be able to establish the genre of a film and to work out the plot of the film. The trailer helps to establish the overall setting and to show footage which may attract the audience to watch the film, it also helps the audience to be able to establish summary of the film.

How are trailers distributed?

The trailer is distributed through the films website, through YouTube , social networking sites such as face book and twitter and on TV

How does Ill Manors use trailer conventions?

The film uses the use of text on screen to help create a scene, “we are all product of our environment…..some environments are just tougher than other”. This helps create a mood for the audience and also help to suggest the audience and what it may be about. We are then introduced by the main character of the film, going in to a house the following scene make references of drugs which help suggests what the film may be about. The scene of the police and prison suggests they are selling drugs and got caught and that just ice had been served. The scene of girl leaning in to cares suggests that there me aspects of prostration in the film. The way of plan B is shown in a rear view mirror which suggests that he may be in the film it also help audiences to establish the director and attract his fan base to watch the film. The black & white films and babies being shown suggest that each person has previous life and that there is more to what meet the eye.  The uses of guns are shown also to help emphasis the use of drugs, money and power.

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? 

The target audience for ILL manors would people who are aged between 16-28, this would also appeal to people in social demographics of E, D C1, and C2. The unique selling points of the film i believe is the use of have several narratives for each individual character. The scenes are editing showing a snippet of each character and showing a bit of their story such as shown as a baby. The trailer does not give very many clues on the narrative however it informs the viewer of the character and what the film could be about. All the stars are shown in the trailer who therefore means that viewers are introduced to the characters and are able to know a little more about each character.

How has the genre of the film been represented through characters, settings, lighting, colour, music/dialogue, camera shots/movements/angles and editing?
The use of appearance of the clothing has been used which helps establish what type of genre the film is, the use of urban clothing suggests that it is an urban film . Also the setting would show the genre of thefilm the use of estates suggests that it is about low income areas,  the setting of the house that are shown and the conditions they are in show that they run down which can again suggests low income area

Notes

• Educate, inform, entertain

• BBC- Public service
• Synergy- single/ soundtrack/ album/ film

There is also feedback from newspapers The Observer which is an Independent newspaper for mainstreams and politicians, this shows the audience how popular the movie is even to non-teenagers and people from C1 D psycho-graphics.

The website makes use of synergy as it incorporates a trailer embedded in the website.Furthermore, it also incorporates the use of albums and music clips.It also has a link to plan b's website.

Plan B was on the Jonathan Ross show, which was on itv1 on Friday and it was on post-watershed. The audience for this show using the demo-graphics are C1, C2, B, these are usually the successful and wealthy people. ITV has strong ethical brand values and it is a family channel. Despite Plan B being from the estate 'chav' background he was still considered as being unique and was invited to the show. Plan B or the interviewer doesn't mention his movie or his music video during his chat with Jonathan but discusses himself as an artist.

Plan B was on the Soccer Am show on Jan 19th 2010. Soccer Am is a show which is on sky sports 1 and it is on in the mornings. The show has a mainly male target audience. He does empathises his unique believes and values. The audience watching this show using the socio demo-graphics are C1, C2 and D, these are those with decent incomes and those who have spare time to waste. We could argue that the groups B would watch this show as it has to do with football.

E-mail to Plan B

Dear Ben Drew

I'm sorry plan A never worked out but everything still worked out for at the end. Anyway i am a 16 year old who is studying A-level media. In my class we have been recently watching and studying your film Ill Manors and the sound track. Let me firstly congratulate you on the success of Ill manors. Your film has opened many eyes when people they look at young people, you have really reached out to the upper class and middle class. So basically the point of this e-mail is that I would like you to come to my school (Greenford High School) and give a lecture about you and your what you are trying to do. I recently watched your Tedx lecture and your interview on the Jonathan Ross Show and that showed that everything happens for a reason and people need to be loved and be thought. It would be a great pleasure if we got to meet you as a aspiring film maker.

Thank You
Kabir Baraky

Ill Manors Film Research

1. Film London microwave, BBC films which has been existed for 13 years and mostly produces and co produces British films. Another institutions that was apart of the film was Aimimage which provide the kit for the film.
2. The films budgets£100,000 which is not a lot for a film but ill manors used the their money carefully and they got brilliant results.

4.There target audience ranges from young kids who are portrayed in the film and those who are looking for an alternative perspective on the stereotypes featured in the film.
5. Revolver Entertainment
6.Well lots of young people was interested in because Plan B directed so therefore it was very easy to spared because young people spared things they like every easily. Also there was a lot of buzz on youtube especially SBTV (Youtube Channel based around new young talents like rappers) which showed behind the scenes of the film a lot.
7.This varies from a blockbuster in the actors it incorporates and also the advertising styles it uses.however it is similar to a blockbuster due to its stunts and nifty camerawork which help mask the fact it has a downgraded budget compared to a blockbuster film.
9. The trailer balances the plot as it itself has a equilibrium, , disequilibrium and new equilibrium which give the trailer more depth and helps balance it .
