6) The features of the film poster and the web site that suggest that it has a low budget are that the characters
aren't very well known so they wouldn't pay out a lot of money for them, also the location is on the street and in council flats which aren't very expensive, and lastly there are no real special effects.

7) The features of the film poster and the web site that suggest that it falls into the gang crime genre, because one scene is two gangs fighting, and they do graffiti on the walls, also they have shaved heads which in the 80's was fashion, then it was a symbol showing that you are strong powerful and wants a fight and they were called 'Skinheads', also they where military boots and clothing and leather jackets which suggest they are not scared of anyone and want a fight, and finally the colors are the union jack flag colors are around the screen (Red, White and Blue) which suggest they are proud of there country and might not like anyone else that come from a different country.

8) By looking at the poster and the web site I know that the target audience is men and women teenagers because in the film poster there are a mixture of men and women, and this movie would be niche ( a small minority of people), because most teens would see movies with special effects, and this movie hasn't got any special effects.

9) I can tell that the people on the poster and web site are involved in vandalism and and crime because in the poster they are casually leaning against a metal wall, and there is a bit of graffiti of the metal wall, which is vandalism so that is crime.Also what they are wearing is big boots, army clothes which suggest they what a fight and they fight.
