Opening sequence: Genre
Our opening sequence is a drama/adventure film. The reason for it this is because our film is based on drugs, and people of a working class and the struggle with life. The adventure part is the enigmas and the un certainty of why JJ is left beaten up near a bush in a rural area. There is a dilemma, a problem and JJ is caught up in this mess. I've done some research, one film that resembles with our film is Trainspotting's. There is a comparison with our film and Trainspotting's plot. I read the IMDb website on Trainspotting the film. This is what it reads:
"Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), a young man with few prospects and fewer ambitions, lives in economically depressed Edinburgh. Like most of his friends, Renton is a heroin addict who loves the drug's blissful nothingness; financing his habit also provides excitement and challenges that his life otherwise lacks. Renton's two best friends are also junkies: Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), a snappy dresser obsessed with James Bond, and Spud (Ewan Bremner), a guileless nerd who suggests Pee Wee Herman's debauched cousin. Renton and his pals also hang out with Begbie (Robert Carlyle), a borderline psychotic who loathes junkies even though he drinks like a fish. After one too many brushes with the law, Renton kicks heroin and moves to London, where he finds a job, a flat, and something close to peace of mind. However, Sick Boy, Begbie, and Spud all arrive at his doorstep on the trail of a big score, leading Renton back into drugs and crime.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide" -IMDb Trainspotting (1996) Summary

JJ and 'Mark Renton' both have similarities. They both have a working class background. JJ hasn't been doing well at school, and Mark Renton doesn't have many ambitions. They are both living in a rough area. JJ had taken some drugs the night before he had woken up beaten up in a field, Mark is also involved in drugs, in particular he is a heroin addict.
