1. The estimated budget for Ill Manors is £100,000.
2. The money came from funds such as Film London, BBC Films, and Microwave Film.
3. The budget for Ill Manors is quite minuscule in comparison to Skyfall as Skyfall has a budget of $150-200 million.
A Field In England: Funding and production budget
1. The estimated budget for A Field in England would be £316,879.
2. The film had received more funding in comparison to Ill Manors because it had P&A Spend supported with funding from the BFI.
3. The film had been financed by Film 4 as it was stated in the BFI Insight Report that it had been "Fully financed by Film 4".
Film London and Microwave Film
1. Film London is a service that would fund film makers and support them with training to help them create the film that they would want to create. They would have specific funding schemes that would help low budget films with a specific category. This would include the training, production support and the distribution that would help with the success of the film as it would help a low budget film.
2. The purpose of Microwave Film would be to provide short films with help and support financially and help with their skills at production. The skills of production could include distribution to "script surgeries". The funding however can go further with a short-listed six who would gain production funding up to £100,000 and distribution funding up to £25,000.
3. A film that was produced by Microwave Film is Lilting. This had shared the social realism genre that Ill Manors also had. The big differences would be the narrative that it has as Lilting is heavily focused on the death of one man and how that death can cause connections with others who were also affected in comparison to the drug influenced story of Ill Manors.
Vertigo Films and Warp Films
1. Sweeney, Monsters, Spring Breakers and Hawking.
2. Sweeney was successful with its audience since it had been based on police action with an officer taking down criminals in a style that would suit a criminal rather than a cop so this twist of a police film could attract and entertain an audience who likes action.
Monsters was a survival story that had the protagonist travel around the infected zone of Mexico to get to the U.S Border. This could be entertaining for an audience who would like to watch stories about survival.
Spring Breakers would interest those who like action and adventure since this film features the use of guns, drugs, and various other elements of a film that may revolve around crime since the women want to get "an adventure".
Hawking would appeal to people who are mostly interested in learning about Stephen Hawking and his tragic accident and his other times in life. This would also Stephen Hawking himself which would be a unique selling point for the film.
3. Action and Adventure, Family, Thriller, Animated and Sport.
4.Warp Films had started out in Sheffield and London where they were producing short films.
5. '71, This is England and Four Lions.
6.They have helped by presenting controversial and award winning films that would help with their success as they strive to support content creators who have unique stories.
7.Four Lions has some similarities to Ill Manors it features the same actor who would play Aaron in Ill Manors. However another film which is quite similar is '71 as they both feature the protagonist on the run from people that are armed with firearms.
Certification: BBFC
1. There would be people who examine and view the film so that they can check their eligibility for the age rating. They would give feedback which would tend to cut out parts of a film which would allow the film to be the rating that they had wanted.
2. Ill Manors would be regarded 18 as films rated 15 may not feature topics such as sexual content by presenting some nudity as well as excessive use of drugs which would make it look like it's acceptable so therefore this film would be regarded as 18 as films such as horror films would present the bloodshed rather than present the killing from shadows on the wall which would be seen as censoring the action on screen.
3. Ill Manors was given 18 due to it's consistent swearing, drug use, sexual scenes, crime and killings, and have a serious tone throughout the film which could show that it would be rated 18 due to the content that is present.
4. This was rated 15 as it had only included the use of drugs and hadn't really included adult themes such as criminal activity as the protagonists in the film are seen as escaping the warzone to go on a trip in the field as the title suggests.
5. The advantages are that the producers could create scenes that could tell the story in more detail if it was a crime and horror film as well as include action sequences that could include brutal fight scenes that would attract an audience of that age. Another advantage could be that they could also include different elements of a location that may not be regarded as pleasant for people under 18 so that it gives a more authentic feeling in certain films.
The disadvantage to this is that they wouldn't be able to make as much as other films. Due to the age restriction, not many younger viewers could watch the film unless they are accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older which would make a minor improvement in sales but not a significant mount. Also since this is 18, the marketing would be on after watershed hours so that it could fit the audience that they are marketing it to. So awareness may not be as successful.
