Iconography In my Film

The Iconography in my film, is various things like a basketball, a computer, a phone all which are used as a distraction during my film about procrastination, also the main thing being a notecard that constantly reminds the main character of my film that he has work to do but despite the constant lingering reminder he chooses to ignore it entirely.
