The trailer beggins with intertitles that show the audience who the procution company are, then we see very quick flash shots on a city and then a charecter shortly after that the first special effect is used and that is 'Harlem' writen on the side of a building, this automatically shows the audience where the film is set, which is known to be a notorious neighbourhood in New York so its seeking out for the target audience, deprived youth driven by poverty. Then there is a small dialogue that says ''you know it is hot in the streets'' then the special effect comes along with the upbeat happy hip hop music and the screen goes orange and we are shown ''1986'' which we presumme this is the year these events are set in. As the music continues we see another special effect that say ''three best friends'' having a picture of them taken in a nightclub so once again this is the production team seeking out for the target audience, who are people I believe to like nightclubs and be involved in some sort of illegal activity with their ''best friends''. The we hear dialogue that says'' this is the best product, this is the wave of the future'' which indicates they are refferring to drugs, then we hear the music being scratched and the see a special effect that says ''the baller'' and shows one of the main charecters sitting by the basketball courts sitting on his luxury car, then we see cash being shown on screen. folowed by another special effect showing ''the dreamer'' followed by a dialogue saying ''life is good in harlem'' then we see him laying in a hospital bed. then we see another special effect that shows ''the soldier'' being questioned by police which shows the target audience the movie genre, then we see ''they do what it takes to get paid in full'' this shows the title of the movie and what the main charecters are all about.
