What examples can you find of the Ill Manors brand on the Ill Manors website homepage screengrab above?
One example of the iLL Manors brand is the logo that is on the website homepage on the top left corner under the contents page, which allows viewers to get a rough insight of what the film is like, as well as promoting the album. Also, there's a hashtag #illmanors on the top left side of the building, with a bold font and colour which easily can be caught by the audiences eye. Furthermore, towards the bottom of the building the album is being promoted. In addition, the actors/actresses are portrayed on the main page, however, they aren't seen as the main focus.
How does the website encourage the audience to buy or interact with Ill Manors products?
The website encourages the audience into buying the ill Manors products by using the phrase 'ill manors buy now' on the building. Also, the website boldly states the different ways the audience can view the film, which may influence the audience into watching the film as there's more than one different way.
Look at Plan B's official website. How does it use social media in terms of content and design?
Through Plan B's website we can see it uses social media to help with the promotion of the film. We can tell that Plan B has a twitter account with the use of the hashtags, also the with the tweets his fans have tweeted to him. Also, underneath the contents page are subheadings of the products of the film, and as we can see there's links which direct us to Plan B's social media's.
Scroll back through the wall to look at posts from around the release date of Ill Manors. How does this statement on Ill Manors link to other texts we have studied as part of this case study? Do you agree with his claim that he "won't justify" the riots?
This statement links to other texts as it helps the audience understand why Plan B made his film, and his reasons behind the actions of what went on in the film. I agree with his claim as the riots were not justifiable. However, he explained why the riots happened due to the government and due the lower class of society being ignored and almost pushed out.
Why do you think social media is overtaking official websites in terms of film promotion?
I think social media is overtaking official websites in terms of promotion, as it's a more cheaper and efficient way. Also, through social media, there's a higher chance of the website getting promoted, which leads to promotion of the film and album. In addition, the chances of the website getting taken down would be harder through social media as many people use social media itself. Furthermore, celebrities use social media themselves so there's an easier chance of the film being promoted.
