DECONSTRUCTION OF A WEBSITE- T2: TRAINSPOTTING

The second Trainspotting film shows how the cast from the last film have been getting on with their lives and catches us up 20 years later in real time with the characters.
The website shows Sick Boy and Renton returning towards him. The vast empty space in the shot helps to give the film a minimalistic atmosphere and bring the focus to three main areas: Sick Boy, Renton and the birds in flight. The birds may symbolise the aging process and getting away as Renton does in the first film.

This website is successful as it helps to show the difference in the two films, the first was based around Renton and his friends drugs habit however this second film is more about the progression of the characters after two decades. The scene has been set for the film to still be in Scotland and the relevant links to social media sites have been posted at the top of the web page. The logo is towards the bottom of the screen and dominates the middle where it has the same typography and colour scheme as the typography from the first film. This is to show the plot is continuing on from the first film and make the instant connection between the two films and furthermore the two advertisements as this typography was featured on the poster for the first film.
