Caroline, our main character, is an artist. To show this, we are going to begin the film with clips of her painting, but are also going to show her room while she does a voice over. On her walls, there will be paintings of her previous artwork. Them being hung up shows that she is proud of her artwork. Also, in the present tense clips, Caroline is depressed, so her room will be very bland and not colorful. This can be portrayed in her bedding as the color gray. Her bed is something she spends a lot of time in, so the color of it matches her personality. Films like ours with depressed and artistic characters often show messy rooms, so we can have schoolwork spread across the floor to further emphasize her depression and lack of care for school. These characters also typically have books in their rooms to highlight the fact that they are introverted.
