Props

• Bed - this is going to be viewed  at the beginning of the film, showing the main character waking up and getting out of bed. Our aim is to use the bed as a way to represent a working class characteristic, as the bed will have no duvet and bed sheets and will be a dirty matress.
• Clothes - We will be using various clothing items that will be scattered around the room, which will be shown as part of the mise en scene. The actual clothing items would be tracksuits and casual jeans and tops. Which would show characteristics of a working class individual
• Drugs - The use of drugs could show the social class and social state of mind of the individual. The main character will actually be using imitation drugs e.g. powder instead of real cocaine.
• Sofa - the main character will be shown sitting down on the sofa, which his body language will show him being lazy and depressed.
• Mobile Phone - The mobile phone will be used as a wake up call for the main character, which we aim to show the lower class characteristics.
