Homage to Trainspotting

Whilst making the first draft of our storyboard, we realised that, in part of our trailer, one of our protagonists (the main protagonist) is shown to be in bed. In this scene we wish to portray him as lazy, unemployed, messy and the complete opposite of our other protagonist, shown in the scene prior to this.

What we realised about this particular scene, is that it had some resonance with one from the movie Trainspotting (1996), and so raised the idea of paying homage to this film, not only to further connect ours with the Social Realism genre this film portrays, but also to connect the theme of drugs to our trailer.

We found the following clip from Trainspotting, which shows the aforementioned scene, and decided to use parts of the mise en scene within it in our own similar scene, thus paying homage to this highly popular and well-known film from the genre of Social Realism.
