A field in England 

1. It's estimated budget is £316,000.
2. A Field in England had a higher budget than Ill manors because it appealed to institutions with more money who focus on producing films for a more educated audience. The director has a history of creating successful films.Where as, Ill manors had a director who's main job was being a musician.

Film London and Microwave film

1. Film London is an institution that allows film makers with an idea display their narrative in the city of London. It wants the city to be seen as an opportunity for creative people to construct films to make the business of London continue to tick.

2. Microwave film is about funding films, gives development and mentoring support to all films that have been shortlisted. 

3. 'Running out of Grime' is a film produced by Microwave films which is a parody of some of the current rappers journey to where they are. The film has a message underneath the humour which teaches the audience to respect, work hard and understand the person you are. This is similar to Ill manors because although the film is about crime, we see an informative message being told to the audience. Despite this, Ill manors has a more dramatic narrative which allows the audience to construct a relationship with the characters - has a greater impact on emotions.

Vertigo films and Warps films

1. Vertigo film has produced films like 'Football factory' and 'The Sweeny'.

2. The audience is British and would like these films because they are set in Britain. Mainstreamers would watch these films specifically because they fit the representations international audiences have of us so audiences would want to feel part of it. 

3. They have worked with action films like the two examples above and romance and drama with the 'Street Dance' trilogies.

4. Warps film started in Australia.

5. They made films such as '71,  This is England, Four Lions'. 

6. Vertigo films helped produced 'The Sweeny' which includes Ben Drew who also is in association with Ill Manors. Warps film made 'Four Lions' which is similar to Ill Manors because the films show the perspective of the outcasters of society. 

Certification: BBFC

1. 'U' is suitable for all audiences, 'PG' is parental guide, '12A' is a Cinema releas suitable for 12 years and over, '12' is a video release suitable for 12 years and over, '15'is suitbale only for 15 years and over, '18' is suitable for adults only and 'R18' adults works for licensed premises only.

2. A 15 certificate would include things seen in an 18 certificate but it would be watered down: strong violence, frequent strong language, strong verbal references to sex, sexual nudity, brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence, discriminatory language or behaviour and drug taking. 18 certificate would include all of those but would be more brutal.

3. Ill manors was a 18 rated film because it had strong scenes of violence, sexual scenes and it was very graphical.

4. A field in England is a 15 rated film.This is because of the drugs involved in the film and the effect displayed in the editing.

5. The advantages of a film being rated 18 is that audiences may assume the film is going to relate to their life styles because it wouldn't be appropriate for younger people to hear what they do.The disadvantage would be that less people can watch the film.
