We really opened up for the film of King George, but then the places where its characters lived and worked cried out to be opened up. The world of this story is the school, so the big decision we took was not to twist ourselves in knots trying to give it a false sense of scale. Closed worlds like schools, army bases, prisons or hospitals are fantastic, because they stand as a microcosm for a bigger world.
