Trainspotting Case Study
Produce a 2,000-word case study of one film from the ‘see also’ sections of the syllabus.
Your case study should include relevant production data (director, producer, cinematographer, screenwriter, production designer, editor, genre, duration, main cast, year of release), a brief plot synopsis, and a detailed commentary, focusing on the film’s production history, reception, content and stylistic approach (see the entries in the World Cinema Directory for examples).
You should also add to your case study a paragraph on how the film relates to the topics explored on that week and focus on the ways in which the subject matter is treated in comparison to the screening film.
You are also encouraged to analyze a sequence or scene from the film in detail, focusing on form and style.
