Creating our Freeze Frames

As 'Trainspotting' is one of our main influences we decided we would use the idea of having a freeze frame of the characters when they're names appeared on the screen. We done this by creating a still shot just before each characters flash back begins . This produced a 5 second still image over which we placed the subtitle displaying the characters name. We then cut these still images down to 3 seconds so as they were not too long.
