Although we had a location that was a genuine teenage boys bedroom, we wanted to choose carefully the props that would go in the room to make Peter's personality clear. 
From researching about the book, we were aware that the story was set in a small American town, so we wanted to make that clear to the audience. In order to do this, we chose to place some half eaten American sweets, including Hersey's chocolate, on his desk, alongside a can of Monster. We also chose to have an old bowl of cereal on the desk to show how he is very secluded, yet still a typical teenager, because teenagers seem to hate the idea of tidying up.Also, due to the fact the entire novel is based around a shooting in a school, we wanted to start to plant clues and hints to the synopsis of the film by including a pin board which featured a selection of
newspaper articles about shooting, particularly those that have happened in schools in America, to reinforce to the audience the country in which the film is set.
