Locations

These are photos of the house that are the areas that we would use in our film. The first photo is of the kitchen table where the boy would eat his breakfast, the stairs would be used in the opening sequence, and the sitting room for where the boy would have his meltdown.

The style of these spaces are very minimalist and open which will help when we are trying to set up simple, open and well composed shots in act 1. The more colourful sitting room will also work well for the boy to have his meltdown in, as we hope to use colour to help show the boys confusion and anxiety.

We aim to show through our film the life of a normal middle class family, who happen to have an autistic child. This is important as we don't want this family to be seen as a "special case", but rather that they are the same as any other family but they have the difficulties added on of having to look after an autistic child. I think that using this house and these rooms will help to give the feel of an average middle class family.

Overall I feel that these locations will work well because they will make it easier rather than harder to film, and they will help set the tone of the film.
