FINDING A

LOCATION
The Subconscious

A hospital setting symbolises things like emergency and harm, and this is what
the protagonist in our film is linked with he has created an emergency by
hurting his hands and has caused harm to himself.

Corners represent how the protagonist does not have a straight forward
journey to finding his mum, he has to compromise sometimes and adapt in
order to get what he is seeking.

A number of doors connote the idea that the protagonist must overcome
many barriers during his fight for what he wants, and if he does overcome
these barriers then he might just find that he becomes a better person for
it as well as being able to track down his long lost mother.

A plain, narrow corridor with many closed doors. The plainness of the corridor
indicates to how bland he thinks his life is, not having any close friends or
family to fulfil and complete him. The narrowness of the corridor highlights
that time is running out for him to find his mother/become fostered or
adopted. The closed doors are a metaphor for all of the people who the
protagonist has tried to get close to in his life to somehow substitute them for
his real family, but sadly these people have never stuck around for long.
