The set design for any film is crucial, as it helps communicate the character's personality and traits.
When the story begins, the bedroom will feel messy, yet personal. It has clothes all over the floor, bedsheets all messy, and the walls covered in posters, showing how he acts. The blinds are closed, with little light allowed through, creating a gloomy and dim atmosphere. The small details hint at his internal conflict, such as the hoodie with long sleeves, and the pain killer bottle left out on his dresser. The diegetic sound of his parents speaking loudly adds to the atmosphere.
When he is driving to school, we can see him transitioning his personality to his public self. While he is driving to school, it feels cramped, adding to the feeling where he feels trapped. The POV shot of the car window displaying the title, shows a dim, cloudy sky, adding to his isolation. When he arrives at school, the hallways are bright and crowded, showing the harsh contrast between his home and school environments. In the hallways, we include small details, such as students whispering about him, showing his role as a bully.
