Choose five of the posts on the page's wall, screengrab them and explain how they appeal to the Ill Manor's target audience. 

 This appeals to  the younger audience the ill Manors campaign tried to target. The 16-19 year old focus of the advertisement helps to provide the insight. This also suggests that the target audience may be fairly artistic and have an appreciation for film making in general e.g. they might be interested in social realism and aspire to create/ learn about movies themselves.

 The Brit awards is a direct reference to the British audience that the social realism of ill manors targets, moreover the awards are watched by a fairly young audience which again is reference to the young audience ill manors targets. This not only targets his music fan base but also his 'director' fan base.

 The idea of poetry links to the idea of plan b's music audience, that appreciate music and the messages they hold. This is especially true due to rap being perceived a 'spoken poetry' by some.

 The appreciation the audience has for protest music. Targeting the reformers and struggles as they hope to change the world and express they opinions that may not be so conventional.

the plan b loyal audience is referenced just by the mention of his name. The independent would make reference to the more sophisticated+ middle classed audience eg. from the tedx talk.
