Felicia's Journey
NFTS Production design workshop
Dining Room
Joseph Hilditch eats his dinner here whilst watching his mother taste the same meal from an old VHS tape playing on TV.
The Dining Room holds the first scene where we realise there's something very dark about Joseph.
We see Joseph eat dinner with what we initially understand as V.O. of his and Felicia’s conversation, then we realise he’s watching a secretly taped conversation of their conversation on TV.
Pen and Watercolour Visual for the Dining Room.
