The production company fade in and off screen, this shows the audience that this film is going to be a low budget British film as it's not made by a typical Hollywood production company.
Non-diegetic music plays which is fast and up to imitate the action being played alongside. A voice over is also introduced which we find out is the voice of one of the characters. The close up mid shot shows four men running insinuating a chase, this creates an enigma as the audience doesn't know what's happening and are left wondering.
The first character 'Renton' is introduced through the windshield of a car, this is the main character of the film and has been introduced first. At first sight of this character the audience may feel intrigued as to see what has happened to him and to what he is going to do next. His face is discoloured and he looks very happy only just nearly been hit by a car, The film follows him and his heroin addiction and this shot gives a hint at that to the audience.
We are then shown a close up of the main character with a female, however she was not introduced the same way that he was and so the audience are lead to believe that she will be less important in the film. The characters are looking straight at each other suggesting some kind of relationship between them that may be related to the story line of the film. We then hear her talking about 'Renton' and again implies that he could be a bad character.
We're then introduced to the next character 'Spud', he is shown by a close up with the same red and white writing. His scene in the interview highlights the comedy that will be in the full film and shows this character to be more humorous than the others.
The next characters presented to us are 'Sick boy' and 'Begbie'. Sick boy comes across as quite comedic as when he is talking with Renton he puts on a different voice, Begbie however is presented differently to the other characters.
He is aggressive and the voice over says "He's a bit of a psych" whilst the visuals show him attacking another man in a bar. The music in the background contradicts this as it's still upbeat, this shows that whilst the film could be funny it also includes some darker characters who will change the tone of the film.
The inter-titles are bright and colourful which stands out against the black background. Instead of actually relating to the film the inter-titles are reviews which make the audience then want to go watch the film. I think I would like to include this into my trailer as it would go with the theme and attract the audience into watching the full film.
The rest of the trailer includes a range of shots and locations without giving away anymore of the story-line and so forces the audience to have to watch the whole film to find out anymore. This is what I want to do with my trailer, create fast paced editing so that it's exciting but still have enough differentiation in order to keep it interesting.
The final shot is of all four main characters standing together whilst a train goes past, this goes with the name of the film 'Trainspotting' although the film is about something completely different. The audience then want to watch the whole film to see what kind of trouble the characters get up too and can possibly relate to the behaviours shown.
From looking at this trailer I have decided that I would like to use faced paced editing and up beat music to keep the trailer exciting and use a wide range of locations and shots so that it comes across as different and the audience will want to watch the final film because they want to know what is going to happen to the characters.
