Location

Abortion Clinic/ Toilets- during our extensive research trip to the Leigham Lodge Consultation Clinic, Maurice and Vivienne thought it would be a great location for Maya. However, after much pleading, we were told we were unable to film inside the clinic but we were allowed to film outside.
Therefore we have come up with the idea to shoot the logo of the clinic to establish the character’s whereabouts and then to jump cut to a scene within the girls toilets in the school which is of easy access to us.
We liked the girl’s toilets in the sixth form block because of the lighting. When we turned off the lights we found that the natural light coming in through the window created the gritty feeling sensed in our inspirational social realism films.

However this may differ when it comes to filming in which case we can alternate between having one light on (or two) or off as initially wanting.
