Editing- The director uses a lot of montages to convey the rapid nature of scenes. We see this with a lot of camera cuts and short scenes. The more emotional scenes use long takes for example when the baby dies.

Sound- The music used in trainspotting is usually played really loud to convey the chaos and draws the attention of the viewer and sometimes it is hard to hear the characters. For example when they show the montage of the guys having sex with the girls from the club.

Mis en Scene- The Mise en scene of the movie uses a lot of old and beat up looking props to reflect the time and the setting of a poor area in scotland. The lighting is mostly reflective of the scene so for example when the characters are depressed it has dark and gritty lighting.

cinemetography-

An example of a stereotype in films is shown in the film we watched in class ‘Moonlight’, because Chiron the main character grows up and is into drugs because of his early life growing up in a rough neighbourhood with a single mother who frequently took drugs herself.

An example of a countertype in films is shown in ‘The Princess and the Frog’ because the princess Tiana is not the typical Disney princess, she has a work ethic and unlike other princesses she doesn’t come from money and has to work for what she wants.

mise en scene:

In the toilet scene, set design is used to create a dirty, disgusting and dark atmosphere that displays how awful his life has got to where he he has lost all standards through drug addiction.

sound:

At the beginning and end of the movie. A contrasting narration is given showing his progression throughout the film. In the beginning he lists many things that the average person does in life in an ill mannered tone showing how he sees life as a burden that he would rather escape through drugs. At the end he gives a similar narration but in a more optimistic tone once he’s clean. Showing how he ready to live a normal life and is excited to try new things.

cinematography:

In this scene. Where he is hallucinating after going off drugs. A canted angle is used to show his paranoia as he sees people he knows through visions and realizes how much he negatively effected them.

Editing:

In the opening scene, many different scene are edited together in a montage to introduce Renton’s life. The first being him and his friends running off showing how his life is chaotic. The other being them playing football showing how close they all are. And finally Renton by himself smoking showing how he can feel lonely through his addiction.

Id give the movie trainspotting a 6/10, I really liked how it was filmed I just didn’t understand it. a memorable scene in this movie is then the guy is coming down from the drugs and the baby is crawling across the roof and people talking to him while he panics, I thought this was a really good scene because it was very chaotic

score 8.5/10

a memorable scene when mark is going through withdrawals and he is having hallucinations of the other characters and the baby crawling on the ceiling. the use of different angles and shots makes it feel hectic and helps you get a sense of what he’s going through.

Score: 9/10

The most memorable scene was, in my opinion, was the scene where Mark and Spud exchange for the last time. Mark abandons Spud, but the bond and history behind them both prevents Spud from exposing him. Last moments between friends.

My rating of the film is a 8/10. I think it had a very unique and compelling story with interesting characters. The cinematography in the film was stunning and used colours in shots to reflect the moods of the characters. I think the most memorable scene in the film is when the main character Mark is hallucinating and sees the baby that died due to neglection from heroin crawling on the ceiling. I think it is the most memorable scene as it is strange in an otherwise realistic film.

i would give the film a very solid 9.5/10. i would say that the most memorable scene would be scene where we see our main character, mark, steal the money from his so called friends, as it was unexpected and very tense due to the music and had me on the edge of my seat.

9/10

Memorable Scene: For me the most memorable scene was when Mark Renton came off heroine, after his relapse. This scene, too me is the most memorable as it combines other scenes where mark has felt Guilty for causing pain, for example Tommy losing his girlfriend and becoming drug obsessed, or where sick boy’s baby died due to neglect as Mark got them all addicted to heroine again.

Score: 9.5/10

Memorable Scene: When Mark takes heroin after ‘giving up’ and sinks into the carpet. This is memorable as we not only see Mark’s point of view from inside the carpet but also the real events where he is being dragged into a taxi and eventually ends up in the hospital.
