7. Compare this with a big budget blockbuster. What are the main similarities and differences?
   Illmanors compared to the movie Taken. Acton/Thriller film, budget of $25million and made $226,830,568 in the box office.

   Differences: Taken has actors/actresses who are known and people have seen in other movies as well where as in Ill Manors there are random actors/actresses who no one has ever seen before. Taken is better equipped as thee makers of the movie had a high budget to work with where as Ill Manors had to be made at a low costing budget. Ill Manors is more inappropriate as it has got much more swearing, sexual scenes, drug taking and violence.

   The trailer for Ill Manors hook audiences into the narrative and prose questions that the film will answer as the trailer clearly shows the lives on ordinary people who have been brought up and living in a deprived area and are having to do all sorts just to make a living for themselves. This helps audience members have an realistic insight on peoples lives in deprived areas and how they are coping with it. Also Plan B as the voice over is not telling the story by just using words he is rapping this is very effective on the audience, this is because it could show that the story line of Ill Manors could also relate to his life as he grew up in a council estate also it make the target audience for the movie much more clearer as older people to not listen to rap. 
9. How does the trailer for Ill Manors balance plot and spectacle?
   The trailer for ill Manors balance plot and spectacle as it interests and draws in the audience members to find out more and wanting to know what is going to happen further into the movie.  Also as the trailer uses flashbacks which are effective as it gives the audience a view of what they were like and instantly going to how they are now. this makes audience member want to watch the actual movie in order for them to find out why they are how they are and what had changed them.
