How Heroin Is Used In Other Films


How Heroin Is Used In Other Films

Trainspotting - Heroin Scene - relevant from 0.50 - 2.20(video not working)

This scene of the film Trainspotting shows how the character injects himself with heroin. This scene is helping me to create a realistic heroin scene for my opening sequence because by watching this scene I have seen how the character uses a belt to make his vein more easily available to inject the heroin. Also, his body language while injecting himself with the heroin can be used in my opening sequence as it can show how a heroin addicts feels and how they portray their pain throughout the whole prcoess.

Main Idea

                                                        Main Story Idea

There is a normal family a father John, the mother Sarah, and the daughter Emily. They lived together in North London Islington. The father owned an bussiness and they were quite rich, but then they had money problems, and the father borrowed money from some Russians.
The Rusains wanted there money back 3 months after but John couldnt pay them back, these Russaians are violent mobsters and John was in big trouble.

After giving him a certain amount of time, and many lies from John they threatened to kill him, and John didnt have the money, so he told his family he was going to run away. So he did, thinking they would chase after him, but Russians dont run. A couple days later they  came to the house in the night and kidnapped Emily, they were pissed off after Sarah and John messed them around. Sarah called the police and they for her, they found her in the river thames with a note saying "Pay your debts, bye bye Emily". There was know evidence to pin it on thr Russians thay are smart. ThE CASE WAS DROPPED 1 month later.

The mother bagan to turn insane she locked herself in an abandoned factory with pictures of her precious daughter Emily. She has been there for 3weeks without eating or drinking, she looks completely messed. The police have been looking for her for about 1 week but when they found her she was hanging from the sealing dead. The husband found out his wife and daughter was dead and he commited suicide too.

My specific piece which is going to be exicuted is the factory scene. We will see light comming through a samll gap then see some pictures or Emily then we see the mother on the floor. (easier to explain ).

Within this there will be close ups on the mother and the pictures of the daughter. A pan shot of the light comming through the window.
