1) What does this tell us about Plan B's intentions in making the film?

2) What do we learn about the production process for Ill Manors?

3) What can you tell about the possible target audience from this short documentary?

4) 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.

Plan B's Intentions for making this film were to educate the audience on how living and how gritty some parts of London exactly are. He did this by setting the film in Forest Gate in East London. Which shows that the gritty parts of London however it can also show the fact that in East London the Olympics had taken place which glamorised the area.

We learn that the film was made on a low budget and therefore Ben Drew could not hire out bigger actors, however he did need actors with experience to act out more serious and major roles in the film. According to him it would be made out to be more realistic if some of the actors recruited were actually part of the life they were acting out as their acting would therefore be more dominant than actors who were less informed or grew up in different backgrounds. We also learn that Ben Drew did not know many of the key terms however as he was so passionate about film making he was able to execute and deliver such a great film
