After finalising the location in the script as an office space/warehouse space, I was able to begin looking for potential shooting locations. I did some research online particularly for the warehouse location as I knew that this would be more challenging to find. I found out that to rent out a small warehouse it was very expensive and exceeded our budget, therefore that wasn't an option.

However, Ellen told us that her family work for an interior company in Maidstone with both a large office space and a warehouse. She had sued the location for her Directions unit and showed us some photos of some of the interiors. We decided as a group that this would be ideal as we wouldn't need to hire it. The location is also fully equipped with toilets and has a kitchen which would be useful during the shoot. We agreed to meet Ellen's mum for a short recce so that we could take photos and examine the space. As it is a working office, the only downside is that we will need to film at weekends only when the office is not in use, therefore limiting our schedule slightly.

The recce was incredibly useful as we were given a full tour of each room and given permission to take photos. There is a large main office which follows round to a cupboard space and some steps leading down into a store room. There is another large warehouse/garage space to the right of the entrance which is spacious and would be suitable as the warehouse location.
