Location - The Old Mans House

The location for our protagonists house was originally George's house, as it is near to the school, for ease when shooting. However we soon came to realise that the house, although old was filled with lots of modern technology that someone from the older generation wouldn't stereo-typically have. To overcome this we researched various care home instead. However we thought that it would take to long to get into contact with them and would be inconvenient for shooting within school hours, and if we needed to reshoot at short notice for any reason.

To overcome this we decided that instead of the care home we looked at other houses belonging to the older generation (grandparents) of our group members. The decision we made was that our group would film in George's grandparent's living room and guest room and change the setting of our scene so that our character would go downstairs, as the guest room didn't fill all of our requirements for the second half of the scene.

The reason we chose this location is because it's a genuine elderly persons home, which keeps up the realism and verisimilitude. Allowing the film opening to become more real and believable for the audience.
