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

A: The intentions of Plan B was to raise issues that he felt that were getting ignored by society. He wanted to show and highlight why young people decide to be gangsters or drug dealers for example at the begin of the trailer it says "We are products of our environment.This tells us that plan B's intention was to show people that people don't just shoot or stab someone because there there just plain evil but that they are  product of there environment.

Q: What do we learn about the production process for Ill Manors?

A: what we learned about the production process for ill manors is that they faced a lot of obstacles. one of the major obstacles they faced was to get founding for their movie but no company wanted to take the risk. another problem was as that they were confronted by a gang leader to get off there Turf which delayed filming. A positive we learn about the filming process is that most of the actors were new or unknown so Plan B held auditions in deprived areas.

Q: What can you tell about the possible target audience from this short documentary?

A: There are many possible target audience identified in the short documentary as shown in the following. firstly, one of the possible target audience is for those parents who warned their kids from bad kids, Ben drew wants to show them that they didn't chose to be bad but the environment there in they need to do that to survive. As ill manors was filmed in an urban area a potential target audience could be young adults living in urban areas as they can relate. another possible target is Plan B's because  his music tires to highlight issues in society so Plan B's fans would like the movie.

Q: 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.

A: In a way ill manors does successful achieve what plan B wanted as he wanted to show the raw parts of society that people look down on like drugs, prostitution and gang life. He used actors who had lived in that sort of environment to be as realistic as possible.

MEST 1 Exam leaner response

Www:
-          You’ve picked out some relevant aspects of the clips shown
Ebi:
-          You’re missing three key things – in depth analysis, media language and media theory
-          Last two answers suggestion a lack of revision and/or application in class
-          You could also take better notes
Score
17 = Grade E
1. What three things will you do differently in the February mock exams as a result of my feedback?
One thing I would do different in the February mock exam is to revise media content and make sure that I apply it during the mock exam. Another thing I would do differently is that I would make sure that I don’t go into the exam on an empty stomach, because during the 1st mock I was distracted and didn’t force fully. The most important thing I would do before the exam is that I would improve my note taking skills, and make sure I take quality notes.
2. What grade are you aiming to achieve for the February exam?
I am looking to achieve between the grades of D-C as I believe it is a realist target as I got an E in my 1st mock. The mock wasn’t a reflection of my ability as I didn’t revise as much as I should of.
3. What grade are you realistically aiming for in may?

I would want to get an A in May but realistically I believe that I could a B in the mock. I say this because if I get a C in my February mock I can get a grade higher and get a B
