3.      How 5 posts on the Facebook wall appeal to the Ill Manors target audience?
This appeals to the Ill Manors target audience because most of the target audience would be fans of Plan B and his music therefore saying he’s been nominated at the Brit awards would make people want to vote for him.
This appeals to the target audience as revolver entertainment was the company who distributed the film. They may also distribute films with a similar target audience.

This appeals to the target audience as the music video is a way of promoting Plan B’s music and what the film is about. The psychographic group of strugglers would be fans of Plan B and the film because of the message it portrays.
The target audience would want to watch the trailer as they would be fans of the film and it states it’s an exclusive clip.

This music video would appeal to the target audience as it says it tells the story of Ill Manors and fans can listen to his music as well as know what the movie is about.

4.      Three examples of synergy with other platforms, explain how each promotes the film.

This newspaper article is about the Mercury prize as Plan B was nominated for his Ill Manors album which seemed to be a favourite to win. This promotes the film because the album was made for the film which is synergy as it is promoting the film as well.

This promotes the film because it shows Plan B winning a MOBO award for the Ill Manors album which makes people want to watch the film because the music is winning awards which must be good for the film.

this was a tweet from Plan B which would appeal to the target audience as he himself directed the movie and produced the album for Ill Manors.

  This was tweeted by the actress in Ill Manors; Anouska Mond. This would appeal to the target audience as she is an actress in the film and they would be interested in more of her work if it is similar to anything like Ill Manors.
4. How has the twitter feed used images to promote the film?
Images have been used to promote the film as there is one of the actor’s onset of the film which promotes the film as it shows the area it was being made in. There is also an image of the HMV DVD signing which promotes the film as the stars went out to sign these for the fans and probably made more sales from that store that day as people just bought the DVD for the autographs but would now also watch the movie. There were also images of the DVD and Blu-Ray which promotes the film as Plan B tweeted the pictures, therefore his fans would go and buy them.

This tweet from Plan B promotes the DVD because he has stated how many stars the film was rated and also attached a picture.

HMV iLL Manors DVD signing was great!! Thanks to all iLL Manors fans who came down!!! Good to c @iLLManors

This tweet was from one of the actors in the movie, it promotes the release as he says they did a DVD signing in HMV, so more people would go out to buy it if there was a signing so they could meet the actors.

Good crowd at the HMV #iLLManors signing in Oxford Street. @4PlanB and Cast will be out signing very soon! 
This promotes the release as it names a famous street in London which would big up the release more as the actors would be signing autographs there.


Instagram

4. Three images on Instagram that relate to other texts we have studied, explain the synergy?

Youtube-PlanBuk
1.      How was the PlanBuk channel used to promote Ill Manors the film?
This channel promotes the film because the whole album is released on this channel for the viewers to listen to which is from the film, this is a form of synergy as it is promoting the film as well as the album. The Plan B tag London campaign is also posted on here which links to the message portrayed in the film as people voiced their opinions on this campaign. There are also short teaser clips from the film which is a way of letting the viewers see some of the best parts of the movie which is a way of promoting it as people would probably want to watch more.

2.      Example of synergy between YouTube and other texts we have studied and how they link to the target audience?
This YouTube channel uses synergy as the music videos posted links with the Tag London campaign. This is because the Tag London campaign was for the audience to get their opinions across on the movie and the society in general which is also what the music videos portray, the opinions of the teenagers and people living in council estates for example. These both appeal to the Ill Manors target audience because ‘strugglers’ would have similar opinions as in the music video and would be involved in the Tag London campaign.
