Research - Genre:

                                     Mise en Scene

The Walking Dead (TV Series)
In the first scenes of Season 1, Episode 1 of The Walking Dead, the main character, Rick, is shown in a hospital room from a high angle shot to establish his surroundings. We can see that props have been placed there to connote the duration of absence his room has had from other people such as nurses. 
The props used are a vase with dead flowers in to signify the passage of time. Furthermore, a close up is shown of a stopped clock to imply that due to the world technically at its end, time has also stopped. Other props used in the hospital room are general hospital equipment such as a drip, a bedside table and other electrical facilities needed in a hospital room. The room is conventionally white, and looks very immaculate which is also conventional for a hospital room.

Similarities
In our film, we will use props that are conventional in a hospital room, such as a drip and a hospital bed. We want to also use props to signify a long passage of time, we will most likely use flowers and a get well soon card to signify how long it has been, the card will stay normal but the flowers will have deteriorated.
