Props For Our Opening Sequence

We have used a variety of different props for our opening sequence, each with different motives, such as conveying something about the character to the audience or progressing the scene further, and it is for these reasons that they are important to the scenes. An example of this is the pills and alcohol bottle, as they hint to the audience that the protagonist suffers with mental illness and addiction, and therefore provokes them to question why. For our alcohol bottle, we used a Bulmer's cider bottle as, because this is not typically the type of alcohol you would see someone get drunk on, it is clear he is so addicted he will simply drink whatever is present. This therefore highlights the severity of his addiction.
