Trainspotting poster - This poster is a reference to one of the films which inspired me, and suggests to the audience what to expect from this film. This is why it is in the beginning of the film, and not later on when the film plot would already be established.
Shoebox Lid - A key part of the opening sequence, allows us to see Max's untidy life and portrays his addiction in a bad light, showing it to be messy and rough, the focus of more than one shot.
Spoon - A key part of my mise - en -scene this further suggests that Max's addiction is very untidy and dirty, this with the other props will be key in creating audience emotion.
Lighter - apart from being one of the key components in cooking heroin, lighters and cigarettes in film have always been a sign of evil or of bad fortune in characters, especially the femme fatales found in the crime thriller/film noir genres.
Heroin - This prop (after experimenting with brown chalk and chocolate dust) was made by finely grinding up granulated coffee. Heroin is probably the most notorious drug out there, and is hated by many, however depending on your character, sympathy may actually be generated, for example Vincent Vega (Pulp Fiction) and Mark Renton (Trainspotting)
