1. What is the top of the page promoting?

The top of the page is promoting the Ill Manors DVD

On their Facebook account there was links to exclusive clips from the movie and links to songs within the movie of Plan B’s to raise awareness and promote the movie as well as him at the same time. The ways in which they promoted the movie and the DVD was by doing competitions and also chances to meet the Ill Manors cast at HMV. They also done this through newspaper articles and through awards in which ill manors won, showing that the movie was a success and that you should go watch the movie. Also through promoting the music of Plan B's music videos the movie was being promoted at the same time as they are linked with each other. Also they promoted the movie and DVD through the graffiti campaign to get people who like graffiti involved within the movie and help them get their message across. 

The way in which Ill Manors promoted the movie on Twitter was through mainly audience interaction and famous people also. By audience interaction I mean they would use hash tags to get the audience involved and also retweet fans and people who have watched the movie. They also retweeted different celebrities and tweeted them who watched the movie. This would also promote their movie as people would think if these celebrities watched the movie then it must be a good movie that is a must watch and these people would want to follow in their footsteps. They used images such as images from the movies and also images of people going to watch the movie to show again they care about the people who watch the movie and would notice them. The tag London feed I believe helped promote the film and target their audience as the film would relate to the what they are doing, by this I mean graffiti and these younger audiences would be targeted and this is a way of targeting them in a way in which is something they do and something that interests them. They promoted the film in the cinemas and DVD by again using retweets of fans and also the cast of the movie so that people could see the cast of the movie and if they wanted to follow them they could as well. 

Ill Manors has been promoted through Instagram mainly through Plan B’s personal account. This has done by images of when the movie is coming, when his new music which is linked to the movie is coming out and also behind the scene images. Linking this to a synergy, the image in which Plan B is promoting his music could be linked to when he is having an interview with Fearne Cotton on Radio 1 in which he also is promoting his music. So on both he is promoting his music but in different ways. Another piece of synergy is when he is promoting his new single this is linked in with the actual video of his new single in which they are both promoting the film as well as his music. I believe the hash tags have to be consistent as they would want to get these hash tags trending so that everyone is talking about it, it is sort of like word of mouth but on social networking instead. 

YouTube

Plan B’s YouTube channel was used to promote the movie as well as his music. As from his music his movie is also being promoted and you can see from the header from his YouTube channel the main image is promoting his album. Synergy is used as he is promoting his music which he has done in interviews in which he has appeared in such as Soccer AM and the Jonathan Ross show. You can also see links to his Facebook, Twitter and Souncloud where he will be promoted more. Souncloud is where you could listen to his music and Facebook and Twitter would be to see what he is currently doing and keeping up to date with him as well as the movie Ill Manors.
