The institutions involved in the making of the movie; 'Ill Manor's' were; Film London Microwave, BBC Films and Aimimage. These institutions are low budget British film industries in terms of making and funding films. BBC films is quite a well known industry who help out and have helped out a lot of people and films in terms of the production funds.
The budget of this movie was :£100,000 and made £453,570 from box office alone. In order for Plan B to raise the funds for post-production, he went on tour in 2010 and 2011 performing "The Defamation of Strickland Banks Tour". The rights to Ill Manors were sold to Revolver Entertainment in April 2011
Ill manors was funded due to Ben Drew (all known as plan b) going on tour in an attempt to raise enough money to just get the production side of the movie ill manors on its way. The tour was called "The Defamation of Strickland Banks Tour" which helped fund the film. He also used the money from his short movie: 'Michelle' in 2008, which was funded by himself through the inheritance of his grandfather.
The targeted audience demographic for ill manors would be the 15 - 25 year old due to the fact that some people can relate to the situations going on in the storyline of the film. Also, it because of the fact that teenagers of this demographic like to watch films which involve a lot of swearing, violence and action along with a good plot therefore appealing to them in this sense.
The main distributor of ill manors is revolver entertainment as the rights to the film were sold to them in April 2011. The film made a total income from box office alone, £453, 570.
The film ill manors was promoted through revolver entertainment as they were given the rights to the film. Also, the film was promoted through posters being put up in many train stations, the music video of ill manors also came out and it appealed to the younger generation. The album was also a part of the movie, so the as the album went on sale, it also promoted the movie ill manors.
Even though the movie is a low budget film it has many similarities to a big budget blockbuster. Many films use music videos as a method of promotion such as Ill Manors did. One difference might be that the blockbusters use more than one method of promoting them, for example advertising on the television, billboards or the internet. This movie was also low budget. Another difference is the way Plan B raised the money to start filming this movie .
The trailer for ill manors promotes the film and appeals to the age demographic aimed at by this film, the 15 - 25 year old This is done through the use of a music video as teenagers are more likely to watch music videos therefore getting a point across in a music video is a effective way of communicating to this demographic. It also appeals audiences through the use of the music, It also gives slight background information on some of the characters. It also has props such as drugs and guns, which hooks some audiences to go watch this film.
The trailer for ill manors shows different characters as well as different scenes. This therefore represents the amount of different story lines in the film and the fact that they all link and cross in one way or another. Also the use of different spectacles in the trailer therefore hooks an audience.
A 18 certificate on the other hand is similar but with more of certain topics. It includes such things as extreme strong language and regularity of swear words. A use of sexual language as well as sexual intercourse, blood and gore and much references to discriminatory language and ethnicities, an 18 certificate will also consist of things which are not deemed moral by society
