The trailer begins with the production titles for the film. Alliance Atlantics is a motion, distribution/production company and is also apart of the Entertainment one group. It is important to have the these titles at the beginning as it is a convention of a trailer as it shows acknowledgement to the audience about who created the film. The genre of the film is a British comedy drama as the conventions shows a lot of scenes where the audience can relate to, as these scenes are based around and ordinary lifestyle. The audience for the film is for both mixed audiences of men and women aged between 16-25, this is because of the content shown they can relate to, there own lives and the audience can following along with there lives.
Then the camera fades to show a two shot of two boys sat down, as one of the boys is talking about how much the other guy has eaten, whilst the other guy listen and continues to search for more food. There dialogue which is complemented with the shot establishes there friendship as they are shown to be outside in the park , which suggests it shows that they are both ordinary friends hanging out at the park. This is something that the audience can relate as a lot of people would have gone to this location with friends. Then the camera cuts to a long shot of the names of two boys and this is shown on a blank screen with white, enlarged letters. This shows that these two boys which be the two male protagonists in the film. This adheres to the convention of a comedy drama as usually there would be two protagonist in the film together to show that they are very close and would figure things out themselves and will show the obstacles they will face together as a pair rather than on there own.



A close up shot of the small amount chips in the bag, from a point of view shot  showing the amount of chips in the bag, along with three shot of his family as they start to argue about the amount he brought home, which starts to show the lower class lifestyle, as they are at in some poor living state which shows them being in poverty with little food. This shows the expectation upon lower class people as they tend to have more argument over there basic needs such as food, and this is also shown through the low quality footage of the camera implies the poor lifestyle they live in. Then the next blank screen shows another bit of information about the two protagonists  as the next scene reflects that they would do anything for each other, as the low angle of one of the protagonist standing and shouting for something he wants which were porn magazines. Then we cut to a close up of the father as the mother walks in and starts to question about where the magazines came from, from the facial expression on the fathers face shows embarrassment as he tries to convert the conversation as it shows him feeling quite shameful as the dark lighting suggests that he tries to keep away from the truth as he doesn't want it to be revealed.

 Cross cutting is shown as one of the boys is being beaten up and then the camera cuts to reveal an introduction of another character. He is dressed in a dark green hoddie as well all the cast are in grey tracksuit bottoms and hoddies as well, which reflects the representation of how lower class people are being shown as this shows that they get into more fights over small problems. Gangs who are shown beating up one of the protagonist as they more common in the lower class area and are seen as less educated. Then the next blank screen introduces more information which shows this stranger getting involved in there friendship. These adheres to the conventions of a comedy drama trailer as this allows the audience to find more about the film and the storyline , which would make them intrigued to watch to find out more. Then the next few scenes show why the stranger want to help them in order to get him with a women which happens to be one of there sisters. as he looks really excited an determined to impress her and so would take advise from the boys . This shows a more gullible side to him as his love interest makes him look really weak, as he does lot of attempts just to impress her , but fails this is shown through a medium shot of him walking in  with a purple 90s suits as he walks and slips over. A juxtaposition is shown of a closeup of the women as she insults him , showing no interests in him, as she raises her eyebrows to show disgust and lack of interest. The expectation in which shows that women can control men through there appearance has its been adhered to the expectations shown in the trailer.

Then the non diegetic sound of the piano playing as the long shot of the stranger is showing celebration due to what he though was successful in impressing the women. The dark lighting suggests that he is alone and the small yellow lighting shows some positivity in his mission as he is lonely in his own life. Then the next scene shows the conversation between the man and the one of the boys as the non diegetic sound changes to a tambourine and a low horn noise as this symbolises rejection and now the stranger want some answer and one of the protagonist takes this as a joke and laughs it off however the stranger grabs hold of him as he seek revenge as they have been playing with his feelings, so this shows a turned side to the stranger as he first helped them and now he wants to seek revenge on them. This shows a turning point as the stranger now has his hood on signifying danger and anger as it shows him being in a more stronger person as he has been played around with by two kids making him look stupid . This shows the expectations of how lowers class people are presented being seen a  as less educated and would listen to anyone in order to get what they want. The close up of the stranger grabbing one of the protagonist, as it shows the danger it has put them in.

An over the shoulder shot has been shown as one of the protagonist mother talks about how they were friends  and the slight low angle gives her a bit of respect as her tone of voice is quite prominent as it suggests it shows the importance of there friendship and how it can impact them if they are separate. Then the other protagonist's sister gives advise to Romeo as it looks like a problem as occurred making them split up. The facial expressions shown on the close up of the protagonist face as it shows some realisation which shows them splitting up as created negative impact on them. This leaves an a enigma code for the audience leaving them thinking about whether they will become friends again and how that would occur, so this would make them intrigued in to finding out more by watching the whole film, as the trailer leave hints for the audience. Then a high angle shot is shown of the 3 boys standing watching the beach view suggesting that they are as one team ,however juxtaposes with fight scenes, showing revenge as the stranger splits the friends up .
