This is a picture Maria took in japan. The picture shows hundreds of colourful origami cranes which are traditionally a symbol of honour and loyalty, they also say in japan that if a person folds 1,000 cranes they will be granted their greatest wish. We wanted to include this symbolic feature in our film as it implies the hope and desperation for a better life. In our trailer we want the central shot to be of our protagonist and the antagonist walking into a room (in the antagonists house) exposing hundreds of cranes hanging from the ceiling. This shot will represent hope in the old mans life and showing it to the boy is the passing on of hope as he tries to rebel against his working class upbringing.
