The Drug 2.0

We received some feedback on our drug, and we were told it looked too much like a Nurofen tablet- and not extreme enough for the deep sense of addiction we wanted to present.

We took this advice on board and subsequently decided to cut these shots from our trailer, and replace them with something more professional looking. For the new shots, we used a collection of drugs instead of just one- to present the concept of addiction on a wider scale.

These are the drugs we used and we placed them on to the camera lens in order to get an extreme close up shot of them. 

The bright colourful drugs mixed in with the more typical white and brown tablets create a strong sense of absolute loss of control which we felt was important to depict. 

We also used them in a shot of the protagonist's hand as it falls to the floor. We layered the shot with a red-lit shot of her face, reminiscing the audience of the first time she takes the drug at the party while displaying the extreme effects it can have on someone.
