12E: Ill Manors - broadcast

Homework




1. Use the above to write a plan for a film review of ''Ill Manors". Post the notes on your blog.

2. After planning, write a review of the film of at least 750 words (posted on your blog).

You should refer to the best film review sites to help you...


...but DO NOT plagiarise anything. Your review MUST be entirely in your own words.

Due: next Monday

Today's lesson

How has Ill Manors used the broadcast platform to generate interest in the film?

Watch the trailer for Ill Manors and answer the following questions on your blog:


  1. What are the typical codes and conventions of film trailers - what information is usually provided?
  2. How are trailers distributed
  3. How does Ill Manors use trailer conventions?
  4. Who is the target audience? Does it have a unique selling point or use particular techniques to appeal to the audience? Consider the way the scenes are edited together – does the trailer give away any clues about the narrative? Are the main stars visible in the trailer? Is there information about the director of the film? Is there information about the release date? Is a narrator’s voice-over used? 
  5. How has the genre of the film been represented through characters, settings, lighting, colour, music/dialogue, camera shots/movements/angles and editing?


The final question (5) requires you to carry out a detailed analysis like you would for a Section A, Media Forms question so make sure you include specific examples and use correct media terminology.

Finish this for homework if you don't complete it in the lesson - due next Monday.
