Locations

Due to the “intimacy” of the film e.g. waking up in a bed and raiding the cupboards for a bowl of cereal it was hard to find a location where the residents of the house were willing to let us film. The ideal location for our film was a big house in a nice looking estate, preferably a cul de sac. The place I had in mind was my gran and grandad’s house. They live in a nice area and have a nice, big, tidy house, the kind of house a scientist would live in. However, our actor said he would find it hard to act in a total strangers house so we collectively decided the best option was to film at my house however I would have to make some changes to the house before the filming began. One change was to move all my mums clothes out of the way. My mum and dads room is relatively untidy and my mum leaves her clothes around the house so I needed to clear them out of the way as a scientist wouldn’t have womens clothes in the house. Also, I had to lock my dogs in the spare bedroom and clear away all the stuff lying around on the floor where we were shooting so we had room for the tripod etc. Also, by my house there is a set of derelict flats which was a really good place for the “sniper” point of view shot. All in all, although my house wasn’t the place I originally had in mind but it still worked out fine.
