Draft Cover/Double page spread

Analysis of Doctor Who poster

Title of Publication - The title is in the top half of the page and is centred in the middle of the page and is easily visible. Although the centre image covers some of the writing, the loyal and regular viewers of 'Doctor Who', who watch the show will show a sense of recognition with the name and would be able to identify what show it is. The name 'Doctor Who' in capital letters which is also in bold makes the brand name stand out on magazine shelves which helps it be recognised by its audience and also new viewers who may be interested in finding out more.

Slogan - The Slogan on this magazine links back to the Title of Publication as the audience get a sense of what the magazine will be about. In this case the audience will be 'Celebrating 50 years of adventures in space and time'. The slogan is placed above the Title of Publication and is centred above it. From the slogan the audience can also understand that the programme is a SCI-FI programme.This also shows how consistent and dedicated the programme has been as its been as its been 50 years and they would want the audience to celebrate it with them, as its made for their viewing

Central image - The central image of the 'Doctor' is equally important as the two side images. This is because the Slogan has already stated that it is Celebrating 50 years of the doctors adventures, and so the two other images are from the different generations of 'Doctor Who'. This also helps the reader identify what the magazine what the magazine will be about. The image can be identified by both males and females who watch the show or know the actors shown. There is also a 

Flash/Cover lines - The cover line "the day of the doctor !" Links back to the front image and also the title. This is in reference to doctor who, which its intended audience would understand the referance. This cover line is also strategically placed in front of the central image and intends to advertise the contents of the magazine. This was also placed in the bottom quarter of the page. This is an example of a convention- a common device to which the audience have become accustomed and those senses they have taken for granted. 

Free Offer- Magazines sometimes offer small gifts or products when purchasing a magazine. With this magazine things such as Collectable items to make the reader buy another magazine the following day these are little incentives for the reader to view or purchase the magazine.

Colour Scheme

The colour scheme that is used in the magazine is red, black, blue and white. The colour scheme is limited, which is a benefit as it prevents the magazine from looking to busy and create a particular vibe that is unique and felt by the reader and the targeted audience. The use of red is limited as it used to mainly promote the different offers, such as the anniversary art cards. Furthermore the use of black is persistent and mainly used in the background of the magazine to contrast all the other colours and make it stand out further. The use of blue is iconic as it represents the blue telephone booth for Doctor Who. The use of bronze is simple and highly effective; this is due to the fact that it connotes an ancient portrait feel to the doctors 50 years.   

Name Checks

The name checks that have been used are not standard name checks as they normally give clues to other stories and articles, which may entice different audiences. However in this magazine, the name checks portray the same topic but in different methods.

Language

 This magazine uses 5 different typographies. The language used presents the magazine in a way that it does not look busy but has all the relevant information the producer wants to present in a brief form. The typography of Doctor Who, is solid silver and stands out adding a futuristic effect relating to the actually genreof the show.

Competitions

There is a hint to a competition that relates to winning merchandise such as blue-rays, DVDs, books and CDs. However it is ambiguous to the reader by just visually looking at the front cover, creating an enigma code. This benefits the magazine as it can represent enticing the reader to purchase the magazine and find out how to win.  

Direct Address and Asking Questions

The magazine does not directly address to audience by asking questions.

Barcode, Date and Price

The barcode, date and price have been printed relatively small and are not visible. This effective as the price won’t affect the judgement of the reader and is more likely to buy the magazine.

Key Points	Evidence from the Film	Your Opinion
Director- who is it and what else have they directed that you have heard of?	The Director and writer of this film was Ben Dew (Plan B). This is Ben Drew’s first director’s role although he does act in a minor role he also has had previous acting roles in the past. He has acted in films such as “Adulthood” and “The Sweeney”.	For his first Directors role for this film I think he has done really well for achieving what he set out to accomplish. He has really been able to get his point and idea across to his audience showing the reality of the problem in society. For a budget of £100,000 Ben Drew has managed to create a well organised and constructed film in the UK which received a 7.0 rating from Imdb.

Genre- what type of film is it? Does it fit your expectations for this film? How would you describe the mood?	Ill Manors is a British crime drama. The genre was parallel to the film itself and it also fulfils the expectations of the genre, this is evident from the recurring use of police and the theme of drugs and prostitution being used consistently throughout the movie.
Soundtrack- did you notice/like/dislike it? How did it create atmosphere?	It was a track produced by Plan B, to add more understanding to the films morale and story. The track was to explain the situation in the modern society we live in, emphasising the problem.
Audience- who is it aimed at and do you recommend it? Why?	This film would appeal to an audience of those who were involved in committing crimes such as the London riots which occurred from August 6 to the 11th in 2011. The film may appeal to Plan B's fan base which like and enjoy his music. This fan base could cover the ages of 15-25 males as these actions seen in the video would more commonly be associated with males compared to females. This video would be a dominant ideology as Politicians and Middle-Class people would agree that the video shows their strong opinion about what the younger generation is like. This video can also be used to say that it is supporting the younger generations behaviour and criminal mentality. Without the Movie or Lecture to go with the music video, there would be a dominant Ideology. With the video ill Manors, the audience including the Middle-Class and Politicians can learn and understand why the younger generation do what they do.

Making Of ill Manors

1) What does this tell us about Plan B's intentions in making the film?

Plan B intended to show the audience the mind of the younger generation. This explains the reasoning behind their decisions behind their life choices and why they are like that. The production holds a dominant ideology as Politicians and the Middle class group can agree that is how the younger generation is regarded as. This ideology supports their opinion on the young generation. The audience of this production including the Middle class and Politicians can learn and understand why the younger generation do what they do, learning their state of mind and general mentality. You could also say that the film is their to change its audiences dominant ideology of the younger generations behaviour

2) What do we learn about the production process for Ill Manors?

The production process was hard, due to the fact that the production was made from a low budget, of £100,000. The film was made in broad daylight with a few complications in the process such as having passers by walking in the middle of shots that needed to be done or getting into a confrontation with a couple of teenagers, filming in their "endz". These were difficulties that the camera crew had to deal with and overcome to make the film as successful as it was. In the production process Plan B could not hire professional actors to play the role of the troubled teenagers, so he set out auditioning a bunch of teenagers who understand that role or have lived in that environment and know what it is like growing up in that sort of environment. 

3) What can you tell about the possible target audience from this short documentary?

The possible target audience for this documentary about behind the scenes of ill Manors, the audience could be middle class or his fan base of aged 15-25 males as the scenes and actions taken in the film are more male based actions such as crime compared to females. Another audience type this documentary would appeal to is the social class of the Middle class sector which wants to learn about his troubled start in life and also change their perspective of their dominant ideology of the younger generation. This allows them to learn the behaviour of these teens making them understand why they do it. 

4) Does the film successfully do what director Ben Drew (Plan B) set out to achieve? Explain your answer with reference to both the film and the making of documentary.

Yes.
In my opinion the film changes the perspective of how the younger generation is seen. It shows its audience why some teenagers are the way they are, because of how they are excluded from the modern society as not wanted or needed, just there to make trouble. This film shows these teens have been alienated and discriminated against, classed as "CHAV's". This is one way of making these teens feel they are not apart of society. when these teenagers are criticised constantly for the way they talk, dress and music preference or they lack of education they may have publicly, it is another way of making these teens feel alienated. This means that anyone who is beaten into feeling low or apathy wont care about the society which they have been removed from. This is because they feel in their eyes that society has made it very clear that they are not needed and are not cared about. Ben Drew has changed the meaning of CHAV's and made it into a modern interpretation of Council Housed And Violent, which is what is used to describe the teenagers now. Ben Drew also aims a comment to the upper class group by saying:

"Just because you were lucky to be born into a family that can afford to give you a good education doesn't make you better than anyone, it makes you lucky."

ill Manors: Music Video Task

What target audience would this music video appeal to ?

This music video would appeal to an audience of those who were involved in committing crimes such as the London riots which occurred from August 6 to the 11th in 201. This video shows mainly a large number of younger males compared to the female numbers. The music video may appeal to Plan B's fan base which like and enjoy his music. This fan base could cover the ages of 15-25 males as these actions seen in the video would more commonly be associated with males compared to females. This video would be a dominant ideology as Politicians and Middle-Class people would agree that the video shows their strong opinion about what the younger generation is like. This video can also be used to say that it is supporting the younger generations behaviour and criminal mentality.

Research on the ill Manors Soundtrack:

The ill manors soundtrack was produced by Plan B the director and musician (Ben Drew). The track was released in the UK on the 25th of March 2012. This song was also the lead song from his film ill Manors. The film was also written in response to the London riots which occurred in 2011. This song was made to emphasize the trouble in our modern society, showing how it has failed to nurture the disadvantaged children showing the audience why things like that occur now. The song was described by the Guardian's Dorian Lynskey as "the first great mainstream protest song in years". This shows Ben Drew was able to get his point across to a wide audience of not only the younger generation but the people who can really make the change. For the soundtrack for this album Ben Drew worked with Atlantic Records and 679 Artist which is currently co-owned by Warner Music Group. Atlantic Records also work with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Plan B, Example and Professor Green. They all fit into the category of the same type of music which they produce.
