It starts off with everyone sat around the table with VICKY and
GEORGINA having a conversation about GEORGE Alzheimer’s and what to
do about the situation, George keeps zoning in and out of the
conversation whilst thinking hard about something, he’s sat with a
plain paged book and lots of colouring pencils scattered onto the
table which he’s fiddling about with.
VICKY
Oh darling, it's been such a tough week, I just feel like
dad’s Alzheimer’s is getting so much worse, he keeps
wandering off, wandering off when I’m putting dinner on
the table, he even read the newspaper five times
yesterday!
GEORGINA
(Reassuring)oh, I know, I know this is going to get
really tough but I can help more, I can do a few more
hours and look I think we just need to go with the flow
and just let him do his own thing
VICKY
Thank you that will help, most definitely, if you could
do a few more hours I get more rest bite but I’m not too
sure on the whole idea of letting him do whatever he
wants to do…
GEORGE
(Mutters as soon as Vicky finishes and slams the
newspaper) you me of the shark
VICKY
You see what i mean
GEORGINA
He’s going to go through mood swings that's natural with
people dealing with Alzheimer’s besides unfortunately
it's never going to be the same as it was, sometimes they
can’t understand the situation and you just need to be
patient
VICKY
Exactly see!
GEORGINA
Look this is all part of it, they told us there’s going
to be mood swings and this is going to happen, we’ve just
got to go with the flow, we got to be patient
VICKY

GEORGINA
I know, I know, they told us about these mood swings,
they warned us this will happen and I guess things just
aren’t the same as it was, we’ve got to be patient
VICKY
It's just so hard, look for example he keeps talking
about this book, a book from when he was younger, an
animal book, have you seen my animal book, multiple,
multiple times a day and I’ve had it up to here…
GEORGE
Has anyone seen that animal book?
VICKY
(Angrily) Dad, how many more times do I have to tell you
we don't know where it is!

there are no charging ports
Hazards Solutions:
- There are twigs and sticks - Clear the twigs before and
all on the floor so I need make sure actors are happy
to make sure that cleared with filming in the space
before as well as making

This place is a good spot for these scenes as it’s a little lonely
spot in the house that has the desk and allows the character to be
isolated which enhances the emotional connection with the audience
and the characters. The lighting is good in this room and can
easily be controlled dependant on what scene we are filming

I think that the bedroom is a good room to shoot the quick three
shots that we need in this room, the lighting can either use
natural or even the bedroom lights both work and then we can get
the shots in here, only one scene is being filmed in here.

Permissions
I require no permission.
This road is spaces and a quite road where not many cars come
around so this is the perfect quite road for the dog walk scene,
suitability is perfect for the scene we are planning to shoot.

Contingency Plan
Locations
• For my locations all of them allow me to film in them as they
are either public or a relative’s house that I already have
permission to film in. These are my backup locations in case
anything goes wrong or the locations suddenly have to
change location.
I’m set on the locations that i have picked and even if they
suddenly become available which shouldn't happen then i will
use these backup locations which are still very strong and
would work in my production
Actors
• I have already planned the dates i will need my actors for in
which i have confirmation from them, also i have made
provisional dates that they have agreed to if something goes
wrong on there's some extra footage needed so this table is in
the event that something happens and i can't film them on the
provisional dates either, this situation is unlikely however
it can happen so i have prepared and i'm ready for this to
happen if necessary.
