When we film for the opening scene we will be using a number of different locations. Our first couple of shots will be outside in ponders end following Alisha’s walk home and the fist communication that she ever shares with Sam. We will then follow Alisha back to her home. The outside shot will be different to the shots inside. For inside we will be strategically placing items to symbolize a broken family and a rough up bringing that she has had, these items will include things like empty bottle, overflowing bin bags, broken certain rail, rubbish Christmas decorations, broken picture frame of home. Each prop will be purposely placed to help show and represent a part of Alisha’s personality, home life and the main themes that will be present in the film. we will be using a council house to show the class of the characters, a broken curtain rail and an overflowing bin to symbolize the neglect felt by Alisha, the cans of Stella will represent the alcoholic father, and the rubbish Christmas decorations will symbolize the lack of effort and care from Alisha's father. neglect and lack of effort will also be symbolized with the use of a dead plant sitting on a window sill.
