1) The Ill Manors trailer shows many codes and conventions, there were names of institutions and slogans , there was the actors names , also t the end of the trailer it showed the release date. They do this to trailers so that they can inform the audience.

2) Usually film trailers are distributed by the same studio that produced them, for example the Warner Bros distributes Harry Potter films. Trailers can be released on a DVD or tape to be viewed by customers going to rental stores; also you can obtain trailers from websites such as apple.com, they have a majority of films of the website.

3)They used big text and non diagetic music. Also they used quit shots of the scenes from the movie this makes the movie look interesting and exciting, there were no narrative speech in the trailer because the song created by Plan B was played over the trailer. This showed a use of synergy this would attract more audience.
4)The target audience for this trailer would be young adults and teenagers. The trailer had a very unique selling point to appeal to the target audience, they used a well known London artist (Plan B) to create a track for the film, this would attract many young adults and teenagers because its the age of audience he performs to. The trailer is edited with quick shots of different scenes; this creates tension and excitement for the audience, making them want to see more. The main stars are not visible in the trailer this creates mystery for the audience. At the end of the trailer it shows all the information about the film this is to inform the audience of the release date and the directors name etc.


5)The characters in this trailer help the audience realize that the genre of this trailer is urban drama , we can tell because the charters are young adults who wear a thuggish style of clothing. Also the setting compliments the genre as it is set in a rough and poor area this will automatically make the audience know what genre the film is going to be . The trailer has lowkey lighting , this connotes that the film will be violent and serious; this links with the genre. The song chosen for the trailer (created by Plan B) is very fast and violent it compliments the style of genre as the song is angry and gangster. The trailer has many close up shots to show the the emotion of the characters, it matches the genre because most of the close up shots showed a serious. mood.
