Print Branding: Ill Manors


The key conventions of this print is the slogan at the top and the central image, the central image of the main character puking shows that the film is going to be very gritty and urban just like the film. Also the setting shows council flats, this means that this film may be set in these areas. The fact that the main character is puking over these flats mean that he may have more power and is sick of his life in these areas. The release date and age rating suggest that this is a movie poster. The bright yellow colours also suggest a very paint looking colour and give it a graffiti urban edge. The synergy in this poster are the social media links, e.g. Facebook, instagram and twitter.


This print is for Plan B's album due to the text in the poster, the central image is plan b smoking on top of a gritty building with a dull view of the last behind him, the sky is cloudy which gives it a gloomy atmosphere just like his album. The fact that he is smoking gives him a very negative, stereotypical look that he does not care. His logo is also placed at the top. The poster also looks a lot like a movie poster which signifies that the album is a soundtrack for the film, the text is also very large which helps attract the audiences eye. There is also no form of other synergy other than slightly promoting the film as the album is the name of the film.


This movie poster shows the more cynical side of ill manors with the more crazy psychotic edge to it, the use of triangles and close proximity show a lot of craziness. Also how two of the central characters are smiling show a very evil look. The movie poster also uses the convention of a quote from critics that will automatically make the audience believe what they read. The use of the 4 stars also give the audience a sense of what the film will be like. The background image shows council flats, this tells the audience will be set in these areas and can attract strugglers as they may want to watch a film that relates to them. The form of synergy used is a small text underneath that features the album release of the soundtrack composed by plan b.
