Symbolism

• As well as using colour to create a depressive mood in the office for Grace, we want to show that she feels isolated and locked into her own world. For this, we want to create the separators they sometimes use in offices to make her look cramped and boxed in.

• To show that Grace is becoming overloaded with the jobs at home by herself, we will be including a shot of her looking very busy and trying to handle cooking, being on the phone etc. all at the same time. This will also apply to look like the typical stereotype of a domestic mother, so this will suggest to the audience that she is getting ready or at least wanting to settle down. This will also emphasise the downfall of Grace in comparison when she sinks into depression and unhappiness.
• For the shot of Grace collapsing against the door, we want to film it from the inside of the house to suggest that she is shutting herself out of the world, like the office booths, and hiding herself away from everyone.
• For the shot of the hands intertwining, we would like this to be ECU to create a sense of claustrophobia and over-whelming closeness in the argument, suggesting to the audience that this might be one of the reasons for Grace's downfall and the downfall of their relationship.
