A major scene in the script is when two of the players are on a hunt to find a new manager for their crippling team. They do this by visiting a wedding which is located in a hall, therefore Aimee and I have found a local hall with a reasonable fee, and did a recce to see if it fitted the bill.
It is located near Rochester train station which is very handy for cast and crew, as we can all get there easily without having to worry about organising lifts etc. It is also walking distance from Aimee's house meaning kit, as well as refreshments, can be easily transported if and when needed. Location wise, this venue is perfect.
We were welcomed by a very kind man who showed us around the whole place. It has 2 floors, one being a mini nightclub/bar, the other being a hall. Both Aimee and I came to the conclusion that if we like both, then we can secure two big locations with one stone. This would be great for budget, as well as ease with the cast and crew.
The hall is a good size for our shoot. It has enough room for guests, as well as crew, so we can capture exactly what we want without any trouble. I particularly liked the disco ball and lights, this gave the room a much more "party" look, which will help reinforce the wedding theme:
The hall is joined to a bar (see below) which is perfect for the drinks scenes. The owner said he will have a member of staff there to serve drinks, including shots and beer. This is great for realism, which is one main aspect of our film. Again, it is a good size, so will work perfectly for our shoot:
Downstairs has the nightclub, which contains a mini stage for a band/DJ, tables and chairs, as well as a dance floor which again is well lit in terms of the mood we would like. Again, a member of staff will be at the bar serving drinks, and the size of the room will gives us space to film the shots we need:
I believe this could be the perfect place for both our wedding and nightclub scenes, as the location is local and easily accessible, the room sizes are efficient, and we'll be able to hire the whole place for as long as we want it. It's an hourly rate, so can be expensive if we are there for too long, however with organisation and hard work (without rushing) we can get these shots done in good time.
