Trainspotting starts with a fast paced chase scene, like lock, stock and two smoking barrels this suggests that the film could have a fast pace to it. The fast drumming music also helps to suggest this. After this it switches to a football match in which you see the main characters; Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie, Tommy and Spud all being introduced. There are also various cuts of a dew seconds of the main character smoking drugs, giving you the hint that this film is about drug abuse and it's effects. However the manner of the football match, which this cuts into, is quite light hearted and almost comical, there's stupid challenges and Renton being hit in the face with the ball. This also suggests that even though the film is based around a very serious topic it is also reasonably light hearted and even funny. During the whole of the first scene there is narration from Renton which helps to set the scene, there is also subtitles to really emphasize what is being said.
