How are texts in the three platforms constructed?

In a Daily Telegraph article, Plan B talks about other movies he was involved in, although he was acting in them he learnt new things and it made him want to make a movie even more. He was involved in 'Adulthood'and 'Harry Brown'

He also talks about one of his inspirations for music and were his style got inspired from. He said his mother used to send my blind granddad novels on audio tapes. And he said 'This is what I need to do, I'm going to make films for the blind, I’ll be known for doing that'.

He talks about why he done a soul album and he needed attention, people didn't listen to his music before but because of the soul album they are interested. He says“I’ve got so many songs that no one ever hears because they don’t fit my image,” he sighs, “but I just thought I could make this work.”

He’s not leaving hip hop behind either. He intends to eventually release ’Stickland Banks” second disc, ’The Ballad Of Belmarsh’, and is already in the process of combining both albums into a long-form video. He’s also developing a film drama that should go into production later in the year.

It’s called ’Ill Manors’ and is about London life at the rough end of things..

Plan B talks about how he has changed his diet and his lifestyle, he is trying to be healthier and is cutting down on the alcohol. He also changed his genre of music to rap because he feels he down the soul album to catch attention. And to widen his target audience, he also got more fans because he can meet different fan’s needs. This is affective to promote his album and film because he is getting involved in different things and not only in the music industry. This creates a buzz and more recognition for the artist.

Plan B feels that the kids in his high school are disadvantaged as the kids haven't been raised properly and no one shows them love, they feel like they're not worth anything and then they walk out of the doors of their high school, pick up the newspaper and the media's saying they're not worth anything, the media calls teenagers chavs and scum. The society read the newspaper and they believe kids are bad so when they come across a teenager they already have a preconception about them this then leads to the teenagers believing they're not worth anything. Plan B then speaks about the riots, he believes the government haven't done anything to prevent it, Plan B shows true dis like towards the government. 

The movie is also promoted because of Plan B's music, the two are made into one and they are interlinked this is called synergy. So fans that listen to his music would watch the movie and vice versa because the two are linked. He said it is a big achievement for him to win a MOBO but winning two is very special. He has been nominated a few times but has never won anything but this makes him recognise that he is doing well. He knows that his hard work is being recognised and it motivates him to carry on.

Underneath the album image, there's information about the album, the release date which is important as I mentioned above, the producers which brings many fans, people who like Plan B's other albums or even what he raps about and people who are a fan of Labrinth and his music. The Label which is Atlantic which again could attract a wider audience as many people might like that label because of it's previous work. 

The website speaks first about Plan B's other albums, his last album "The Defamation of Strickland Banks" was a soulful, if slightly hammy, concept album, which made Ben Drew a commercial success. It then speaks about his second album which is a "compliment" to the film Ill Manors. The website explains how both the film and album tell a story of a group of young people living next to the "billion-pound Olympic village in almost indescribable depravity.

The last paragraph, where should you listen to the album? The website explains if you've been through what Plan B's been through then you shouldn't listen to it as obviously it would upset you however Plan B says how it doesn't matter because all music should make you think.

Also, the main image is of the protagonist Aaron (played by Riz Ahmed) who looks serious which is highlighted, through his facial expressions as he holds the gun in a forceful way, looking straight into the mirror. The semi-naked image of the protagonist would appeal to the female audience as well as homosexual individuals as well, which could make them want to watch the film. Furthermore, the iconography of the gun is effective in highlighting the genre of the film which is urban teen drama. This is because, a gun symbolizes violence death, blood, freedom, power ect suggesting the film will include elements of each one. Furthermore, the typographyof 'Ill Manors' is in a bold and striking red front which is effective, as it makes it clear for the audience to read the film name. Additionally, below the title of the film name in a small italic black font it states "Plan's B, Plan's B: become a movie director" self explanatory as the audience would clearly know who directed the film. Furthermore, the empire magazine is mainly informing the audience about the film therefore, it does not focus on Plan B social background compared to other print media's which do. The demographics associated with this specialist magazine would be A,B,C1 therefore, targeting more middle class individuals.
