Jonathan Ross Show | Plan B Interview

The Jonathan Ross show began on BBC and in 2011 was transferred to ITV. This is in order to move it from a UK-Public service broadcaster to a commercial channel. Jonathan Ross is a world-known celebrity and has been around for many many years. He began his first TV Programme in 2001 called Friday Night with Jonathan Ross after 2 years in the industry of Radio talk show. The Friday Night with Jonathan Ross show continued for several years and resulted in Jonathan Ross receiving 3 BAFTA's.

Ross' new chat show, The Jonathan Ross Show, began in the beginning of September 2011 on ITV 1. The programme bought in 4.3 million viewers in its first viewing. The programmes consist of Jonathan Ross interviewing famous celebrities with a bit of a humorous twist. Jonathan Ross' show targets mostly 17-32 year olds.This is because the show consists of artists such as Beyonce and Justin Bieber, all the way to movie actors such as Liam Neeson and Daniel Radcliffe. It also includes light swearing and is broadcasted at 9:40pm which further reinforces the target audience age. The psychographic group that this target audience comes into the category of is the aspirers and the mainstreamers. I believe that a high portion of the target audience would be aspirers mainly because these individuals are quite materialistic and like to value their appearance heavily. They tend to have celebrities as their role models which suggests to me that they would watch the Jonathan Ross Show along with mainstreamers.

Plan B represents himself as quite sophisticated and dedicated to what he has produced. He tends to go over his beliefs and his values of society continuously and how he has managed to show it in his film that he has created with a lot of dedication. Plan B does this to show the audience of The Jonathan Ross show, why these young individuals cause a lot of havoc and how they are forced into it for survival. The opportunities for these individuals are low which means that they have guidance and support but are constantly criticised through media which means they are downgraded in society.

Print: Branding

This movie poster portrays the lives of the characters and the emotions these characters accompany during the movie. It also suggests that the movie includes a range of emotions. The placing of each character in the poster suggests to us that all these characters come close to one another in the movie. The movie title is taken from the original Ill Manors movie poster and is the basically the identity of the film. The title is an brand image. The writing at the bottom tells us about the new soundtrack that is included in the movie. This is another technique of advertising the soundtracks in the movie for customers to buy on iTunes.

The movie poster includes a central image of Riz Ahmed, the main character, puking all over the poster. The connotation of the yellow background and central image is of caution, decay and sickness. This is may be an insight on what the movie will include and an insight on the emotions of the characters in the movie. Riz Ahmed is leaning onto buildings in his area which portrays he may be sick of what is occurring in his area and wants to make a change of it all. This shows his role in being the protagonist in Ill Manors. The synergy with other media platforms is located in the bottom left of the screen. The links to Twitter, the website and Facebook are all placed there.

 This poster is made to advertise the soundtracks from the new Ill Manors movie. On this poster the date of release is made bold in order to amplify the date of release in order for customers to be familiar with it. The album is placed on iTunes and includes 28 singles. The poster doesn't tell us that but tells us to use other media platforms, like Twitter, to hear the new songs from Plan B. The white colour of the poster on the black background suggests power and elegance in Plan B.

iLL Manors: TEDx Lecture

The opportunities for young people are limited which inspired Plan B to create iLL Manors in order to show everyone what is evolving around these individuals lives that has involved them into being so isolated.

Plan B believes heavily in equality between young people. He believes that all young people deserve motivation in order to pursue in life rather than moving backwards. Plan B briefly spoke about an incident that occurred while he was filming iLL Manors. He explains how a group of Asians approached him and told him to move from what they call their 'turf'. Plan B showed us and told us about how he tends to stand his ground. Another group approached them after this and told Plan B that he can carry on filming. Ben Drew later told an newspaper company what happened and this newspaper company chose to miss out the part where the other youths approach him and tell him to continue filming. Newspaper companies are known for demonising youths using loads of techniques that seem to only focus on the negative side of teenagers. This co-relates to Cohen's theory of Moral Panics as the newspaper chose to only violently portray teenagers.

Plan B's lecture is presented in-front of an audience that he believes can help and acknowledge the issue occurring. He wants to inform these adults about the lack of motivation and determination that these individuals have. The adults that this lecture is presented to are of the social class ABC1 and the psychographic group of reformers. This is because the audience tend to seek enlightenment in their knowledge and personal growth. The audience of the music video and film are the opposite of what they seem.
