Heroin scene Trainspotting Deconstruction

Screenshot 1
Looks like a belt which he must of taken from his trousers displaying how everyday items can be used to take drugs. This also tells the audience about his appearance making him look like a victim that is trapped in the drug world as a shirt and tie does not display drug user to the average person. This is will be good for the practical as we might not have to display a level of dirt and grime that people might think. The presentation of the drugs to him is like a restaurant giving him the opportunity to turn it away however, also making it look appeal which ultimately is too much for him to bare. The camera angles displayed is a close up of a key part of his body where he is going to administer the drugs as well as in what part. The main focal part of this particular image is drawn to the centre then to the arm bulging with his vein this displays what he might do. The camera angle also displays how experienced he is at dong this and maybe displays what real drug users are like.

 The props used are the same you are just unable see them. However the needle is used in-front of the face to display the tension. He uses it like the doctors needle flicking the air making sure that all he has is drugs instead of gas as well. Him looking at the needle is almost like he is tranquillising himself into is own pit.  This is a close up shot of his face again building up the tension a bit like his arm which has trapped blood.

The prop used in is in his arm and the needle is new with a small tip. This close up is dramatic as you are able to feel the tension in the fact he is going to be harming himself. The lighting is low key with the orange creating a bright needle maybe suggesting that it is the life a sole of his body. He is displayed not as a victim to drugs as he is optionally taking it and not trying to stop. As soon as he tries to stop and cannot then he is a victim.

This extreme close up is very good and shows the blood coming into the needle before going into him. Sound effect of the plunger creating a pull on the audience as the liquid enters his body.

This shot shows what he is feeling this displays whether it is a good of bad high something thats is very important in the narrative. We can assume from this shot that it is a good one. A negative narrative would be one where a more tense scene. At this point we can see him dissolve into the floor suggesting he is nice a relaxed.

The close up means the audience can see his face and how white and pasty it is something you may see a ghost or dead body looking like. This could suggest why he is part of background due to the fact he is a ghost. Almost not wanting to be seen. This is despite the fact he is just lying on the floor in plane site. The lighting is low almost like his life is slowing ending or collapsing in on itself.
