- As soon as the trailer begins we're shown glimpses of the genre through reference of the era,"a fall to the floor beat" we know music is a heavy influence in rave culture, and acid house music was defined by its distinctive base line. Along with the voice over a visual of a spinning record which is edited in time to the music that is played through the trailer then sets the tone.
- We're introduced to the two main characters 10 seconds into the trailer, the credit labelling them as "Two Ravers" and edited into credit is the symbolic raver smiley face again reminding of the genre, historical drama. Seeing them in a split screen, Dylan on the left shown grinning I think it's a clip from when there in Ibiza, this may show him becoming more independent and this challenges his friendship with Matt on the right or the split screen, he's shown in a rave but the focus is on him although he is surrounded by chaos, this may represent him as the wiser one of the duo, being seen as the eye within the storm.
- When they are discussing holding their own rave the camera angle is canted, contributing to the theme of drugs, the illusion of "tripping" Dylan says that within in scene also.
- Each credit creates a brief story line of the main narrative with symbolic images, a cassette , passports. The turning point in the trailer were we're shown darker scenes and were their may be problems for characters the credit says "Killer come down" and it has been edited for the bright colours we've seen through the trailer to turn into black and white.
- There are numerous locations used throughout, giving the trailer and story more depth, giving us subtext to narratives and characteristics of all characters from information the locations give us.
- The dialogue, relates to a younger audience and a national audience rather than a global one, because we're familiar with the Manchester accent. This can also draw in an older audience as well as a young one, because the rave scene was more current for teens in the 90's so now that audience would be mid/ late 20's to 30's.
