Ill Manors Exam Style Question

The codes and conventions are used in order to promote media products. For instance, the movie Ill manors directed by Plan B used E-Media. The E-Media platform enabled Plan B to link both social media platforms (Facebook and twitter) in order to promote the movie as best as possible. We witness on the Facebook page of Ill Manors that there is a photo of nominations that they are up for however, on the twitter page their are 'has tags' used in order to promote and take part in a competition to win a copy of the Ill Manors DVD. The similarities between these two social media platforms is that the content in some parts uploaded are the same e.g. release dates, touring dates etc. Furthermore, they both follow the same principle of promoting the film overall. In addition the social media platforms allows Plan B to create synergy with his own personal twitter account and Facebook account as he promotes both on each platform. This links with the broadcasting side of promoting Ill Manors. On BBC Radio One Plan B was interviewed about his work on the movie Ill Manors and the soundtrack behind it. The conversation about the soundtrack links more with the twitter page due to the fact that Plan B had promoted a 'Ill Manors Music Tour' on the page. In the interview he doesn't mention it however, talks in great detail about the soundtrack and how it builds a strong effect to the media text.
