ill manors is a British based action and crime drama film written, produced and directed by a musician called Ben Drew but formally know as Plan B. this film was a low budget film as it was produced for £100,00. lives of eight characters who have there different situations and obstacles they face daily but some how they are all linked and intertwined. The film is similar with former British crime drama such as adulthood and kidulthood and Plan B's music talent is displaced in the film as song of his songs he used to promote the film. How plan B used his music within the film is very clever as his lyrics tell a story and has a greater effect. The music helps to help narrate the story and also helps build tension and suspense.
Plan B , Ben Drew, was a first time film producer and hasn't had pervious experience of making movies. Plan B's motivations for making the film was that when he was growing up he had a lot of obstacles as a young teenager for example he was kicked out of school and sent to Tunmarsh pupils referral where he met lots of people who were in worst situation then him where society abandon them. I believe that for a debut film producer Plan B has done an amazing job as issues in the movie leaves the audience thinking about the state of the nation and question if the government doing enough to help teenagers and young adults.
ill manors is largely a cast of unknown actors for most parts of the movie. The most well know actors was Riz ahmed who has featured in some other movies. Due to the low budget that Plan B received he had to recruit some actors from the streets not only was it cheaper but also this was beneficial as they have been raised by the streets so its would be natural to act like Plan B wanted whereas if he had had a rich white boy actor it may not had the same effect.
The film is set in a deprived part of east London, forest gate to be specific where Ed and his friend Aaron are drug
