Roland Barthes: One of the main signs used in my trailer is the use of busses and public transport for
their association with the monotony of the working world and thereby using them to suggest that
the world depicted in my film will have allegorical content regarding the futility of modern existence.

Steve Neale: I am following a lot of mystery conventions regarding the villain such as making him a
successful business man with lots of power and influence who uses this to facilitate his
crimes.However for the main character I am straying away from having a detective as the main
character and am instead having a student for the sake of telling a story about contrast between rich
and poor.
