Costumes: Considering the setting of the opening, costumes are a setpeice towards the set period and the first impressions of the character, we wanted the mother to appear 'stuck in the past' To do this the costume of the mother is dressed in classic, floral dress/shirt inspired by the 70's the outdated look of the mother will hopefully give the audience the notifications of the setting, the daughter however will wear more modern casuals, jeans and some sort of sweatshirt.
Props: One of the key props in one location of the family's living room is a boom-box radio (appropriate for the time period) the camera tracks from a newspaper to the radio and then cross cuts to another scene. Another major prop is the kettle, which boils over time as the camera cross cuts between segments, this use of personification through the kettle boiling develops the tension and emotions behind both characters.
