Irvine Welsh's collection of short stories proved to be the main source of inspiration of the film providing the basis of the story which could then be manipulated into an original piece of modern day media.
The short story in question was one that provided the title for the film Snuff which deals with a reclusive office employee who watches and reviews films to himself only to record his own suicide with supernatural implications. The characters were changed slightly whereas the book character is very content with his lot and doesn't make any excuses whereas the films character in his voice overs will sound very ashamed of his life which makes it more believable he would kill himself.
The supernatural elements will happen a lot earlier in the film so that it can be clear that its a horror and it will only contain 2-3 characters with the only memorable and recurring character being Derek himself with the others being there simply to add atmosphere or move the plot on.
None the less the film will remain mostly loyal to the book in terms of locations and settings however characters names will be changed and some will not feature in the film that were in the book, furthermore the dialogue, both diagetic and non-diagetic, will be completely original.
