Text is in bold capitals and uses a patriotic colour scheme to reflect the themes of the film.

Main characters depicted in profile to show how they dress which helps us understand the historical context. The fact that they are standing in a line together gives the impression of a group and a sense of unity (like the military.)

Tagline reveals historical setting and a key theme within the film.

Iron fence and building blocks show a poor, industrial setting. This gives an insight into where these characters live as well as how they live

Titles using red and blue to relate to the mod symbol which are also the colours of the British flag to show setting, and a symbol appears in the ‘Q’ to show that the film is related to the Mod lifestyle

Main characters standing in a line, dressed similarly (in the mod style) to show historical context, the style of that era and also shows that all the characters are related.

Sting, who was an important part of the Mod zeitgeist, also appears in the line up to show that he is in the film so that his fans will watch it, as well as to show that this film is the representation of the Mod group.

Bold writing shows that the film was made by the production company owned by The Who, a prominent Mod band, to intensify the exclusivity of the film.

Tagline confirms that this style is a way of life and will attract potential consumers who subscribe to the Mod lifestyle

Anoraks and bowler hats are typical of the Mod dress sense, so Mods can relate to all of the characters by their style.
