ill Manors E-Media Research

Facebook

The Facebook page for ill manors has not been in use for a while as obviously ill manors was a film and there is not much more that the producers can do to engage the audience with it as most of the hype about it has died down. The page does have 30,000 likes which means that 30,000 people will still be informed about any additional content that may be put out by the page. The amount of likes indicates that the film was fairly successful.

Twitter

The twitter page of ill manors has 3k followers, this is not a vast amount but it is strongly assumed that a lot of the fans would rather follow the director and main man himself Plan B on his twitter account. Hashtags where used with such words as illmanors, legaldownloads. It has used pictures with fans that help promote the film. The twitter page also promotes the DVD as some of the tweets state some phrases such as "have you got your copy of ill manors yet!?'. There also photos on twitter that show fans with their copies of the film on DVD and Blue ray. This is how how the twitter page promotes the DVD and film.

Instagram

There are photos on instagram with hashtags including illmanors; stylized #illmanors. These are used to try and set trends however the hype of ill manors has died down. Pictures on instagram include fans holding their copies of the DVD at various signing events. Other pictures include still photos from the films and captions which are now recognised as memes. An official page for the instagram however is not directly made

YouTube

Planbuk the youtube channel has a banner of the film that promotes the film. This directly engages with the audience as it is likely to be the first thing they see as it is covering a large amount of space. It also has an image of Plan B himself connoting that it is his own film on his own channel . Even though the channel is used for a lot of the music he has created that has not been linked with the movie he has still chosen to promote his own movie on the same channel. He does however have different playlists that indicate what each piece of music/video is corresponding to.

The banner is very effective as it also uses comments and statements to help influence its effect on the viewer. For example it states that ill manors was a number 1 album which is also promoting his success, this has a piece of text next to it which states out now on iTunes which demonstrates that it is available to buy. There are also several ratings from professional film reviewers/critics which also promote the success of the film by giving it 5 or 4 stars.

There also logos of other companies that are supporting him like Atlantic and Warner music. The synergy also includes hyper link buttons that can take the viewer to Google+, Twitter, Facebook, iTunes and soundcloud.
