Ill Manors: Plan B analysis-



In the starting of the video above it starts with an establishing shot of the surroundings of the area of London. The lighting is symbolism of the stereotypical proverty area. In the background of the establishing shot there is light on the attractions of London where most the the rich people are. The shot shows the less attractive side of London which is portrayed badly. he makes the movement with his hands to show a violin almost orchestrating the violence in the riots not only from the less fortunate but also the police and prime ministers. 

In this there is the use on the low angle shot and red lighting. The low angle is used to show the power and authority that these gangs were portrayed to have during the London riots in 2012. The man spitting shows that he should be feared by others. Red lighting is used to show the panic, worry, distress and anger that the group of less unfortunate and the rest of London had.





This aspect of the video is a very violent scene which included the camera angle of the point of view from the phone which makes the audience as we realise the characters motives. this can been seen as glorifying violence however, from the preferred reading the clip is actually showing that they are willing to embrace the "chav" stereotype. 


In the short clip above their is the skipping between of the music video and the actual news footage of  the London riots in 2012. This can give the oppositional reading that Ill manors is trying to glorify
 violence however really ill manors was tiring to show that these "chavs" are  living up to the stereotype they are made out to be. But really the authorities are supposed to support the youths they're really just making these types of people feel worthless which encourages them to grow into the stereotypes and embrace it.

In this video there is reference to the derogatory term 'chav' which is frequently used to describe people who choose to wear a type of clothing (hoodies). When calling a person a 'chav' it is seen to be just as bad as using derogatory terms used against race and sex. There is also intertextuality used to show what David Cameron said about the younger generation saying that these are the people who typically commit crimes. 

This is a clip of actual news footage in the London riots which makes
