Rave Culture is one of Britain’s great cultural exports, but after its first wave in the late eighties and early nineties, it was soon forced into the underground by stringent new laws and superclubs. But forward 25 years into in the midst of a nationwide purge on the nation’s nightlife, where nearly half of all British clubs have shut down in the last decade, and a new kind of scene has emerged.
Clive Martin investigates this 21st century version of Rave, where young people break into disused spaces with the help of bolt-cutters and complicated squatting laws, to suck on balloons and go hard into the early morning.
But with the police using increasingly extreme tactics to clamp down on these parties, and more than one fatality causing nationwide media panic, can the scene survive?
I personaly found this documentary very intresting, i think as its a particupatory documentary where Martin interacts with the subjects helps make this more intresting and how he has an unbieas view on the subject. The documentary is on Vice aswell which has a younger target audience so you can clarly tell that the problems this documentary highlights will intrest the younger age demographic.
As I want to do a particupatory documentary I feel that I can use some of the interviewing teqniques and editing styles as i hope my documentary will have a similar target audience and I feel from the editing to the filming they managed to capture all the emotion and message that the subjects who are getting interviewed want us too see. They dont really have the polices point of view so even though Clive is unbiased I feel that the audience ends up taking the side of the Ravers, and in my documentary i want the people who watch my video to take my point of view and agree with it so the use of just one side of the argument was very smart by the director.
