Analysis on photograph:

As in my second sketch I wanted to make the scene look like an average couple’s room. There are two matching bedside tables, on the left hand side are female like items, for example: Flowers, hand cream, tissues. On the right hand side male like items, for example: Alarm clock, crime novel and side lamp. This is to show that these are two very different people who are married to each other but are living two different lives.

The light coming through a window on the right hand side shows that it’s late evening or early morning. In the bed on the left hand side shows that it is his wife and he is meant to be in bed sleeping. The fact that he is sitting up on the end of the bed shows that his wife doesn’t know what he is doing.

The rose the male character refers to the dream scenes in the film, the fact that the rose petals are lying on the bed and ground shows a loss of love.
