Fiction Adaptation Unit: Location Adaptation

Yesterday Helen briefed us out on our location adaptation piece, and we were given a choice of three extracts that we could adapt. I chose Chapter 1 of George Orwell's 1984, and I have settled on a location near to where I live which has children's playgrounds and garages en block so it will be possible to create a look of desolation and isolation in these locations. I plan to have a real, gritty look to my piece, to show urban decay caused by poverty and so on.
