Editing Trainspotting (film) (section)

===Principal photography===
''Trainspotting'' was shot in mid-1995 over seven weeks on a budget of £1.5{{nbsp}}million with the cast and crew working out of an abandoned cigarette factory in Glasgow.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/trainspotting-behind-scenes-history/|title=Trainspotting: The Complete Behind-The-Scenes History|date=26 February 2022|work=Empireonline|accessdate=22 April 2022}}</ref>
Due to time constraints and a tight budget, most scenes were done in one take, which contributed to the grungy look of the film. For example, when Renton sinks into the floor after overdosing on heroin, the crew built a platform above a trap door and lowered the actor down.<ref name="gordinier"/> The faeces in the 'Worst Toilet in Scotland' scene was made from chocolate.<ref>{{Cite book|title = The Amazing Book of Movie Trivia|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=LPLyBgAAQBAJ|publisher = Andrews UK Limited|date = 11 February 2015|isbn = 9781785381294|first = Jack|last = Goldstein}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine | title=A deep dive into Trainspotting's iconic toilet scene | first=Sara | last=Vilkomerson | magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] | date=30 March 2017 | url=https://ew.com/movies/2017/03/30/trainspotting-toilet-scene-danny-boyle/ | access-date=11 October 2019 | archive-date=12 October 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191012030705/https://ew.com/movies/2017/03/30/trainspotting-toilet-scene-danny-boyle/ | url-status=live }}</ref>
