Location Recce - Tonbridge Park Toilets

When re-filming our film opening, we decided to use public toilets to add comic effect and more narrative as well as giving a specific, more obvious place for the title of our film to go and be isolated. This made it easier for the name to be identified for what it is as well as showing that it is an opening, and where it ends as this is the last credit shown.
This post shows the recce of the toilets that we did. We wanted it to be a confined and small space to represent how she has been thrown out of her house and has almost no option for her to go, so she is confined in what she can do.

We thought the no-smoking sign on the toilet wall could add to irony of her life, as our protagonist is addicted to drugs and this is the focal point of the opening and rest of the film. However, we did not get round to filming this part of the location unfortunately so had to leave it out of the opening.

The photo above shows the toilet stalls which we had in almost all of the shots inside the public toilets. We took a low angle shot from either end of the toilets when the protagonist walked in and out of them. We also wrote in eye-liner and lipstick onto the metal stall doors small phrases such as "David has a small dick" and "call this no. for a good time" which added comic effect and allows the comedy genre to be seen amongst the drama genre.
