Trainspotting Opening Sequence

The Medium Close up/ over the shoulder shot to start already gives the audience an idea of who the main character is. This Opening Sequence is quite sudden and instantly causes the audience to question what is going on, by using the rule of thirds, main character at the left, sub character at the right and further back taking up much less of the screen showing his importance compared to the much larger figure to the left. This is a good youth culture opening sequence as it is unique.
