ill Manors Review Plan

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.
Main Stars- who are they? Will people be familiar with them already? What are they known for?
Riz Ahmed - Riz Ahmed has starred in other productions and films. He has been seen in films such as “Day of the Falcon and “Rage Riz is known for his acting skills as he has played different roles for different movies.
Ed Skrein – Ed Skrein has starred in a couple other movies and productions. He has been in TV series such as “Game of Thrones and movies such as “The Sweeney”.

Plot- what is the film about?
The Plot shows the predicaments and difficulties in our modern society that we live   in. It shows how teenagers who grow up on council estates get to their troubled state now and how messed up reality really is. The film follows the lives of drug dealers, user and prostitution.

Characters- who are the main ones and which actors play them? Comment on the quality of the acting.
Ill Manors revolves around the lives of six characters and the main protagonist that live in the unforgiving streets of suburban London.

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.
