Ill Manors e-media: website analysis

Increasingly, social media is overtaking official websites in terms of importance on the e-media platform.

The Ill Manors official website has now been taken down (the film is over three years old) but look at the screenshot below and think about how it promotes the film in synergy with other texts/platforms you have studied. 




Ill Manors blog task

Answer the following questions on your blog:
  1. What examples can you find of the Ill Manors brand on the Ill Manors website homepage screengrab above?
  2. How does the website encourage the audience to buy or interact with Ill Manors products?
  3. Look at Plan B's official website. How does it use social media in terms of content and design? 
  4. Scroll back through the wall to look at posts from around the release date of Ill Manors. How does this statement on Ill Manors link to other texts we have studied as part of this case study? Do you agree with his claim that he "won't justify" the riots? 
  5. Why do you think social media is overtaking official websites in terms of film promotion?
Complete this for homework alongside the rest of the Ill Manors e-media platform work. This includes the Tag London campaign and the social media research questions. 

In total, you need the following blogposts to cover the e-media platform:
  1. Ill Manors Tag London campaign
  2. Social media research questions
  3. Official website analysis
Due: confirmed by your teacher (12C due Friday 4 March)
