Props for film trailer

Alarm Clock
This will be the first initial sound that starts the trailer off, not only does it wake the protagonist but it also appears to 'wake the trailer' and get it off to a start.

Mobile Phone
Voice-mails will be played through the mobile phone to show that people are trying to contact the protagonist however he isn't appearing to answer even when his Grandma calls. This shows how the character is ignorant and alone. A voice mail also shows how he has a job interview but he chooses to ignore it, this further shows how the character is lazy and would rather sit around doing nothing.

Toothbrush
The toothbrush highlights the protagonists daily routine, his lack of enthusiasm shows that it is an everyday habit and like everything else, nothing is new.

Cereal & Bowl
Sugar puffs are not the healthiest of cereal and the honey monster creates a sense of immaturity, the character has not quite grown up yet.
Computer w/ headset
The headset adds more to the scenes when playing games such as 'World of Warcraft' because he is not only speaking to strangers but it also shows that he would much rather speak to them than his friends and family that are trying to contact him. 

Lottery Ticket
The lottery ticket is a main prop as it highlights the 'disruption' within the narrative. Although he doesn't win, this is still is what eventually will change his life.

Hairbrush
The hairbrush symbolizes how he is starting to care for his appearance and is beginning his change. 

Deodorant
Lynx deodorant advertises how it attracts women and this will soon be a priortity of the protagonists.

Bottle of Alcohol
Alcohol is one of the many reasons why the protagonist begins to go off the rails, it shows how he is taking it straight from the bottle without spending the time to put it into a glass.

Pint Glass
A change in container for the alcohol creates the illusion of many drinks. He is mixing and trying different things compared to his usual energy drink cans.

Shot Glasses
There are usually strong drinks in a shot glass and drinking multiple at a time highlights how he really not caring about consequences.

Cans
Cans are not the most aesthetically pleasing and often associated with a more lower class form of drinking, especially in public. 

Money (Notes)
Notes symbolize a lot of money rather than coins. Using notes freely will show money is no longer a problem for him.
