The central character in High Fidelity (Frears, 2000) is Rob, a lovelorn record store owner, whose persistent melancholy and attachment to a girl (in this case his ex-girlfriend) can be paralleled in our own film with our own central character. In addition, he lives on his own in a shabby apartment - as shown in the third screenshot - a very 'male' setting which is conveyed through the messy, cluttered state of his flat, the beer cans and the drab decor of the place. Having the protagonist in mine and Charlotte's film live in a setting such as this would be beneficial, and highlight how downbeat he is without the object of his affections in his life.
Josh, it's not clear what the connection is to your own ideas here. It may say elsewhere, but you need to make that clear in your post above (especially as it's not a short film).
