For this particular sequence, I knew I would have to co-ordinate 7 people (Emma and Blake + the five actors) and because most of them lived in and around Wandsworth I made a practical decision to shoot the walking home sequence there.
For the 'outside of the club' scene where Joanna Murray's character 'throws up' we needed a place which could:
A) Pass for the outside of a club
B) Was easily accessible
C) Was in the same area as everyone and meant we could easily co-ordinate the cast
There were two ways in which we could have gone with the outside of the venue, which would cast the girls who exited in different lights. We could either find a high end building from which they would walk out of or a more grimy, run of the mill building that would portray them as not 'glitzy' and 'glamorous' but more intoxicated, young and foolish.
After much deliberation, I realised that it would probably be easiest to use my father's office as the entrance to the nightclub because it was; adjacent to Clapham Common tube station meaning people could easily get there, had that 'grimy' 'dirty' feel to it with the brick walls and industrial windows.
Here are some pictures I have procured from Google Maps streetview (obviously these were taken in the day time, it looks more ominous at night)
In the second picture you can see the large double doors I am thinking will be a good place for the girls to exit from, not only because they look quite substantial and realistic, but because the single front door has my father's company name written on it!
Obviously we will move the cars and trashcans too, but I think, shot in the dead of night, with the lights turned on inside and a pounding house beat playing in the background, the scene could prove to be quite realistic.
