The Making Of Ill Manors from the DVD extras.
In the DVD extra, Plan B states that he wanted to show the things that happen in the poorer side of London. He was trying to represent in Ill manors the misunderstood youth. His main intentions was to show the audience what goes on in some teenage lives and how some people portray them as "chavs." Plan B intended on giving the audience an explanation through his soundtracks for Ill Manors and his movie, that young people act in that way due to the way the authority acts towards them. They receive no love or no sign that they care about them.
The production process for Ill Manors took a lot of effort due to the low budget. They has to go to settings that clearly portrayed Ill Manors. By doing this, it seemed that they put themselves in danger as people who lived around Forest Gate were not happy that they were filming there. There were also people throwing things down from buildings whilst the crew was filming the production. From this we can tell that the production took time to make and courage.
What can you tell about the possible target audience from this short documentary?
From this documentary, we can tell that the target audience is aimed at the younger audience due to the language used but can also apply to those who stereotype younger people as well as those who hold a ideology of young people that do things with mad intentions. This documentary shows Plan B's intentions so it can help show, to those who think that young people are rebellious, the true story behind Ill Manors. However, you can tell from the target audience that it consist of mostly people who are interested in the concept of Ill Manors.
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.
In a way yes because Ill Manors portray the ideology in which society view young people. By watching the film, you can create a personal relationship with one of the characters knowing their background. The film suggests that people who live in difficult areas have lived a hard life and so if no one takes the effort to notice them, then they will loose respect for authority and the people around them. However, there is a possibility that Ill Manors has enhanced the ideology of young people being out of control due to the film being quite explicit and can create a moral panic. Although it is so explicit because Plan B wanted to display reality hence why he used unknown actors. The documentary shows how they tried to make Ill Manors look as realistic as possible by going to settings that convey what Plan B had in mind.
