Trailer Analysis- The Football Factory

The film begins with the name of the institution which is Vertigo Films. Vertigo Films is a UK film and distribution company, focussing on lower budget films.  The Football Factory was the biggest independent UK DVD of all time. We then see a large group men in the street, all shouting and looking violent, which we would associate with football hooliganism. Furthermore, as a gang of men are fighting in the background, there is a close up of one of the main characters played by Danny Dyer, which could suggest he has an influential role within the film.

The trailer then has a review quote from a magazine, "F****** Fantastic". Throughout the film there is a lot of bad language and swearing and so the magazine has cleverly incorporated that into their review of the film. In addition, there is then a mid shot of the same character with a voice over of himself, sort of describing himself and what he enjoys and gets up to. It then cuts to show a large group of football fans like on matchday and police officers on horses, making sure there is no trouble. We then see a group of men in a bar and another group of men in a club. This is what we associate with a group of football hooligans, out drinking and getting into trouble.

There is then a wide shot of a man holding down someone on a bed about to attack him, when one man comes up from behind and hits him over the head with a cricket bat and then they run out of the house to pretend nothing has happened, more violence. There is then a coach full of men drinking maybe on the way to an away game. There all laughing and joking, having a good time. There is then another review quote from a magazine praising the film, "a nose bursting blow to the senses"which again relates to more violence.  We then see the F.A Cup draw on the TV screen and Chelsea are drawn to play Millwall, to massive rivals and violent sets of supporters. Both sets of fans are happy to play each other as they know there will be a lot of violence involved.

We then see a large group of men walking to the game as one big gang to try and put fear into the opposing team. The two large gangs then are face to face with each other and they are both shouting at one another. It then finishes with a voice over from one of the characters saying "what else you going to do on a Saturday?" Then the date of the film and the website for the film come up on screen.
