The Location Cont. (Jodie)

Today i concluded my location research by looking at two final Public Toilets situated in Sevenoaks. This article also contains pictures of the toilets I went to apart from ones of the Angel Centre

Sevenoaks Station
Sevenoaks station toilets had all the facilities we need plus more. It had the old style sinks with twisty taps therefore there will be a constant flow of water. It also had mirrors above the sinks as well as an added bonus of a notice board. This is helpful as an idea we have for our mise en scene is to use subtle advertising related to the story line. However a problem with using this location is seeking permission as the toilets are frequently used by travelers but we will needd to clsoe them off.

Bat and Ball
i feel that because these toilets are rarely used and quite away from busy roads, we would not have to seek permission to use them which would save time. But after looking into them I noticed there it limited filming space as the sink is in its own cubicle therefore it would be hard to achive different camera angles. however it should still be taken into consideration as there it an old style sink with twisty taps with an mirror above it. Although the mirror is unclear and metalic.

In conclusion after conducting this reasearch i feel the two most suitable places to film would be Tesco in Riverhead and The Sevenoaks Train Station. Both these locations have all our requirements it is just the problem of seeking permission to use them.

Also another point to look inot is that I only looked at the female toilets so to expand on this research we will have to look at the male facilities of these two locations as our main character in our opening is male. In order for this to work we must presume the facilities are the same in both genders toilets.
