Props

There have been many props used in the production of our film, and they all have meaning. We chose these specific props for a reason;

The 'Southpark' Stan character - This shows Alfie watches TV programmes that are too old for him, showing his lack of guidance from his parents and the fact they are hardly around.

The 'Harry Potter' film - This shows how Alfie gets scared at the child's film, but can watch TV programmes such as 'Southpark'. This is very contradictory and speaks more to the older audience of the film about the parenting used.

The red snakes in IKEA - This snake is clearly a child's soft toy, and for Alfie to be scared of it in the dream sequence ties in with the above idea with the lack of parenting.

The rugby kit - This is from Alfie's school, the uniform for rugby. This shows he is a stereotypical boy, but with slight childish tendencies, again contradictory linking with the above idea.

The LACK of parents (props) - This is the basis for the plot applying to the older audience. It explains why Alfie is how he is, without being too obvious to the younger audience.
