RO - Technical Analysis of Trainspotting opening

Trainspotting (Boyle, 1996)

The Scene starts with a close up steady shot of the main male character running towards the camera to convey a sense of mystery, for example running from something.
Then the Camera cuts to his feet to show items falling out which conveys theft while showing people running behind in suits conveying security.
Then a medium low shot to show the actor running from a near side on view.
Then a low angled Shot to a follow sweep to follow the male down the stairs.
A POV shotto show the character running as if someone is following him or chasing him.
Then a mid shot to show from the cars POV and the male sliding over the cars bonnet for him then to stop.
A Mid shot of the character smoking,
Then a long shot of the male character smoking,
A long shot of the teams of footballthen shots of the football with titles of the characters names.
A continuity shot between two scenes of him falling down.

Narration shows the story at the beginning but also gives you a view that this is going to be a teen thriller.
Music has a high tempo to convey running as its an upbeat lifting song but also creates an britpop feel through the music to create a film based on the 1980's

I have learnt from this that you can create a simple opening yet it will be very effective, the narrative drives the film as it explains what he does in which we want to know more.
