Trailer Breakdown #2: Trainspotting

Trailer Breakdown #2: Trainspotting

  • 1. Poly Gram Indent. We can take this from the trailer, or create one in either Adobe Photoshop or After Effects.
  • 2. Wide long shot showing the three main characters running along a train track. When we film this, we will not be able to use a real train track due to safety reasons. 
3. A low angle, over the shoulder shot showing Renton looking to his right. He then turns to face upwards.

4. A close up shot of Renton. He is looking directly at the camera.

5. The camera cuts back to the wide shot seen in number two. The camera cuts back to Renton as he looks back to the camera. 

6. Similar shots are used between the close up of Renton, such as the windmill shot. This is symbolic of how Renton is bored with the repetition of everyday life. 

7. A wide and side on shot is used to reveal that Renton is laying across the train track. He looks left, right and up, and the camera follows his vision and cuts to a shot accordingly. 

8.  In the same close up shot, Renton flinches and the titles flash across the screen and continue to fly past. This is to symbolize a train, most probably killing Renton. 

9. The trailer ends with some indents, such as; 'Trainspotting', 'From the makers of; Shallow grave' and 'AT CINEMAS FEBRUARY 1996'
