This report presents a location of a hospital in Dartford. The location is called Darent Valley Hospital, and is on Darenth Wood Rd, Dartford, Kent DA2 8DA. The scene for my sequel to Submarine will be located in a hospital ward. Therefore, I will need a real hospital or a set which will need to be designed into a hospital ward.
The location can be entered at street level, through the main entrance doors (shown in the image below), but if you have a vehicle you can park it in one of many different car parks situated on the grounds. Hospital wards are not easily accessible, and there is never usually any spare due to high amounts of injuries/accidents happening.
Contact details:
There are many contact offices, but the main office is the switchboard, and the hospital can be contacted by the following:
Switchboard: 01322 428100
Fax: 01322 428259
Email: generalenquiries@dvh.nhs.uk
Fax: 01322 428259
Email: generalenquiries@dvh.nhs.uk
An alternative way of contacting them is by visiting the hospital and talking to them in person at the main desk.
I have found a local hospital which will be most suitable for the scene, which Jordana and Oliver will be in. This is the only location they will be staying in for the scene.
This is how the scene needs to look, but it will only need to be one of the rooms:
Sound/Lighting:
There will be added noises of people driving and walking across the hospital, but this doesn't matter as the scene will actually be filmed inside the hospital. Although, inside the hospital people will be talking and walking past the ward, and nurses/doctors may enter the room. But the hospital is generally quiet inside.

As my scene is during the night time, I will need to either make the room dark or go to the location during the evening. This means I will need to arrange a way of turning the lights off and putting my own lamps on. This means I will need extra plugs to plug in the lamps, and they will be the only electricity I will use. Otherwise, I will have to shut the curtains in the ward to make it darker.
The set is suitable for my scene and I will not need to dress up the set to look like a hospital ward as it is already like that. The only props I will need are a blanket, two coffee cups and the actors in their costumes.
Health and Safety issues:
When in the hospital ward, patients/visitors will have to keep their hands clean by using the antibacterial hand wash by the entrance doors. There will be electrical equipment and operating/cleaning tools which should not be touched in the ward, due to hygienic/safety reasons. When the actors sit on the hospital bed, the bed sheets will have to be cleaned after.
This links with my MACRO element, the theme of coming of age, as this place represents a new event for Oliver as he experiencing something new. A hospital is where births and deaths happen, so it means that the old, 'child-like' him is dead, and he is being reborn into a new, mature adult, therefore, reinforcing the theme of coming of age.
