Trainspotting

Trainspotting analysis.
The scene starts with a slight quiet soundbridge from the family sitting round the table and Renton lying on the floor, at the moment of the scene transition there is also a voice over of Renton, this continues till Renton begins to sit up, and the soundbridge continues till he begins to speak digetically, then slowly fades out, these two nondigetic sounds add nothing to the scene, but adds to a better transition from scene to scene. Through out the conversation with "Mother Superiour" there is no digetic or nondigetic sound, up till the line, "theres a long night that lies ahead" straight after the line had been said we hear a baby using typical baby noises for trying to speak, again I don't believe that this specifically adds to the scene, but it dose make the scene more of a stereotypical drug addicts den, as in every other film, nine times out of ten when the characters go into an addicts den, there is a baby crying or speaking. Back to the scene, after around three seconds of baby noises, a voice over comes on of Renton speaking his mind, in which he explains that they call a man there Mother Superiour on account of his lengthy habit, and admits he will have another shot of the drugs he is on. This add to the comedic of the scene as it contrasts two things, one that they call a man, Mother Superiour. And two, Renton tells Mother Superiour that he won't have another shot or hit, but he admits in the voice over that he will. This shows a comedic effect via contrediction.

There is no soundbridge into the next section. The opening titles. This only had one piece of main sound and that is a speeding train, this ties in with the title of the film which is trainspotting, and really that is the only thing the sound ties in with. Moving into the last few seconds of the title part we hear classical music, and this begins yet another soundbridge into the next scene, the best part about the classical music is that it is nondigetic contrapuntal sound, this means that the sound does not match the scene, his music continues through out the next scene and goes till the end of the scene with a voice over of Renton that sounds like a shopping list, this add to the comedic effect ofbthe scene.
Also some diegetic sounds are in the scene, such as hammering, putting things down and doors slamming.
