This is shown as Adam has a lower class life style as he lives in a rundown apartment and can’t afford nice clothes. This shows the representation of Adam being poor and can’t live a normal life style than the other characters in the film, this is because he can’t exceed on his own strengths and ability’s and can’t complete any tasks given to him. This lack of ability has got him nowhere in life and can’t live life to its full extent, because due to the lack of ability and effort Adam approaches, he has got fired from his job causing Adam’s self-esteem to plummet.

Garage band
Garage Band
Garage band is worldwide multimedia product for the Mac. It allows you to create your own pieces of music to add to other multimedia themes such as: Films etc. Here is a quick tutorial on how to use garage band and how to use it to its best ability to get the best music tracks out of it.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
After opening up the correct genre you would like to develop further in, it will give you a 6 instrument to set up for different music sounds when you are making your own music piece. Firstly on the far left is the guitar; this will allow you to play the rhythm track. Also on the left hand side is the bass guitar. In the middle at the back are the drums. In the right hand corner at the back is the keyboard, and in the left hand corner at the front is the melody. In the middle at the front is the “my instrument.” This allows you to plug in your own music to play with garageband. If you don’t want this there is another option of making garageband do the work for you.
Step 4:
From here you can choose your own voices or music instruments, this is what the customize icon does. On the far right you have the option of deleting the “My instrument” icon, this will remove your instrument so you can just let garageband do your own music. If you decide to remove your instrument your screen should now look like this.
Step 5:
Step 6:
Once you have highlighted the instrument you would like to change in the song, Double click the instrument and should bring you an instrument tool bar.
Step 7:
After you have opened up the page Garageband will display your different samples making up your own personal song. At the bottom of your page will show your own personal LCD window. If you click the little music icon on the left of the LCD window, it will show a little drop down menu with four different options. Theses are: Time, Measures, Tuner and Project. To move to the different points what you do is click the little up and down arrows next to the music icon to change to the different options.
