Ill Manors: Print platform

Men's Health

1) The potential target audience for Men's Health would most likely be a young audience such as 16-34. This would target a young audience since Men's Health is based on the different sorts of health. This would be supported with the other articles that relate to health. It is a lifestyle magazine that would recommend the different sorts of people that are seen as having to try and promote different routines that may favour their readers. In addition to this, they also have articles that would relate to fitness so if they include a story like this, then this would be related to the audience and the magazine.

2) The article doesn't just entertain as there is a paragraph talking about the movie and what the film could be about with the use of rhetorical questions. This would rather inform an audience of what the film is about. Also it is also informative in the sense that there is the perspective of Plan B in this entire article that fans or readers might find useful to see a perspective that supports what the Men's Health magazine is about.

3) Conventions of a print interview include sub-headings that would give a basic understanding or introduce what the paragraph would be talking about. There are also photos of the subject or who the article is about. This would generally have the subject in a photo which would portray the topic to give it a dumbed down portrayal of the article as the photos would have synergy with the topic.

4) Narrative is used in this to describe the progression of Plan B's slimming down. He would talk about how he has gone through specific routines that would've helped him to slim down. The disequilibrium in this narrative would be the fat that he has. The new equilibrium would be that it's his slimmed down self that had resulted from the changes that he had to go through in order to become slim.

5) The synergy that I have identified which is present in this and the other broadcast examples would be that they promote Ill Manors. They both would talk about the film as both broadcast and this interview talks about topics that are covered. Other formats of synergy would also have the involvement of Ben Drew. His appearance in both print and broadcast would be seen as having similar purposes that would include trying to promote the film as well as himself.

NME

1) The other known magazine that would've featured Ben Drew would be NME. NME has been known for featuring music in a majority of the issues that they have had. They mainly feature music however there is the feature of films. So therefore this could be appealing to a younger audience. An example of this would be the different music that is available. I would say younger to an extent of young adults since the cover that was used in the issue which featured this article had Plan B smoking and "flipping the bird". The use of taboo language would link with the text that would show that Plan B is against David Cameron. This view on Plan B can give a hint as to who the target audience may be in a socio-economic value of C2DE. In addition to this there is the use of iconography with the cigarette and the taboo language would also make the cover attract to an urban audience. The age range would most probably 18-35 since it uses inappropriate language that wouldn't be approved for a young audience of children. The psycho-graphics that it appeals to could be the struggler as they may like what Plan B has to say considering that they don't like the ideals of the Conservative Party.

2) The article does more than entertain as it would have a minor form of informing its audience. This would be due to the fact that it talks about the film and David Cameron which an audience might find useful.

3) The convections that are used in the article include the use of quotations that would have been referenced from the interview that they had. Other convections could also include the use of pictures that would relate to the article and the topics that are mentioned and talked about. 

4) Narrative is used in this to talk about Plan B's views on David Cameron at first. This would then transition to talking about the film and promoting the film and what it is about. The views on David Cameron could be one of the reasons that would make a reader read on as he would talk about his views.

5) The synergy between both broadcast and the print is that they both promote Ill Manors. They both would talk about the film and the viewpoints that are mentioned. This also promotes the album Ill Manors as well which can also be seen as synergy. The connections between the broadcast with SBTV and this article is that they both have a main focus on the director Plan B.

The Guardian

1) The target audience for The Guardian would be an audience of ABC1 and possibly a psychographic of the main-streamers as The Guradian does go over different topics that a majority would find interesting. However in this case we see Plan B who directed an independent film so this could tailor more of an explorer who would like to check out who Ben Drew could be. The age range could go from 18-35 so roughly a young adult age range. 

2) The Audience Pleasures of the article could be to learn about the director of Ill Manors. This article does focus on Ben Drew's history so this could give insight to those who are unaware of how people like Ben Drew went into directing his first film. This could also give insight to the film and how he came up with Ill Manors as evidenced in the beginning of the article so that people can see where he had got his inspiration or motive to direct this film.

3) The codes and conventions in this would be the use of pictures and quotes throughout the whole article. There are also segments where the writer would also express its opinion to its readers.

4) The use of narrative in this article mainly focuses on Ben Drew's history as previously mentioned. This would talk about his teenage life and his career as a musician which talks about the origin of the chosen name "Plan B" as it talks about his first potential choice of a soul singer until he became a rapper who would make albums which talk about it. 

5) The synergy between both article and the broadcast is that they both explore Ben Drew. For instance, the TEDx Lecture had expressed Ben Drew's past quite like this article. Other links could also include having to promote the film Ill Manors.

Daily Mail

1) The Daily Mail targets an audience of 18-55 so it would target an older audience who mainly have a right wing view on topics. This is heavily proven with the comments and the opinions about the film that are being talked about.

2) The article does more than entertain and try to demotivate the film by expressing bad views on the film to try and inform people of the bad nature of the film. In addition to this it also tries to talk about how bad the film is by having to try and talk about the different aspects that are featured in the film such as the connected narrative and mention how it is a mess.

3) The codes and conventions of the article is the use of quotes, images, and the opinions from the opinion leader in this two-step flow model.

4) The narrative that is featured in the article talks about his opinions about the film as he gets to his verdict by supporting it with his views and goes in depth with the different views that he has by explaining his views.

5) The synergy that is mentioned in this article and the broadcast is that they feature the film and the elements of the film that are included. Besides that this article goes against all the other views and opinions by having a bad perception on the film due to the way that they present London.
