Moreover, avatar had a world wide box office gross about $2.8 billion  which is the highest gross movie of all time. ill manors £453,570 in UK box offices which is near to nothing compared to avatar.  Lastly, James Cameron is an experienced and is considered to be one of the best movie producers whereas as, Ben Drew is new to movie producing.

Q: How does the ill manors trailer hook audiences into the narrative and pose questions that the film will answer ? identify 3 way/techniques

A: ill manors hooks and engage audiences by showing acts of violence committed by the characters in the film which an enigma code for the audience as they would be thinking what would be the motive to committee the crime. The fast paced editing would engage teenagers are they would be attracted and enjoy the a fast paced film.

The film poses questions that the film would answer is by showing violence and acts of crime committed by characters then the film later goes on to answer the motives for the characters to committee the crimes. An Example of this in the film was when  the black boy wanted to buy drugs but was laughed and to gain respect he had to beat up his white friends to make the older characters rate him.

Q: Think bout the certificate of ill manors ( 18+). Research film certification and outline what it deemed acceptable for this certificate. What is the difference between a 15 certification and 18 certification?

A: There are major differences in an 15 certificate and a 18+ certificate film. An 18+ certificate film contains strong violence and strong language. Also that in a 18+ certificate film can contain sexual scenes/activities/content. Real sex, Strong blood and gruesome scenes would be within the boundaries of an 18 certificate. On the other hand, a 15 certificate involves strong language and violence but this is limited, also drugs can be used but it must not be promoted or encourage during or after the film. Sexual scenes in a 15 certificate is complicated and the rules are that you can show any sexual context but sexual violence must be discreet and have strong contextual justification. In conclusion, ill manors would be an 18+ certificate as it contains strong violence, sex scenes/drugs and drugs therefore this would be only allowed by a 18+ certificate.
