Pre-Production Unit- Listing Our Location Requirements

I have recently begun collecting information and scouting out potential film locations for "Inoculum." Judging from the screenplay I am developing, it seems that I will need a multiple of 4 main locations.

1. A Doctor's consultation room.
This is where the movie will begin. The doctor's consultation room must look similar to a typical family doctor's surgery, and will be the place we immediately see when the film begins. Due to this fact, it is important that the room we acquire can be made to look interesting, and immediately engage the audience.

2. A Family Home.
This is where the main body of the story will take place. This house will belong to Douglas and Delaney Reed, and must be accessible for us to film in throughout the project.

3. A laboratory.
The laboratory I am looking for will be used only briefly in our film to show scientists conducting research on the medication that will be given to Abigail which will give her the "powers" that the film is about.

4. A park.
This location will be used for the films ending, and will only be used briefly. At the moment, Charlie and I have our sights set on a place called "Mote Park", which Charlie is familiar with, and is local to the Maidstone area, which means it will be easily accessible. I have already contacted the Kent Film Office to request a filming permit for this area.

I have begun seeking out these locations through Kent Film Office, who have provided me with several brochures of places that may be suitable for us to use.

Unfortunately, a lot of the places that Kent Film Office sent us require a lot of money to secure as a film location, and also they believe it will be difficult for us to secure a doctor's consultation room as a film location due to confidentiality issues.
One suggestion that Simon had was for me to see about securing a room at the Maidstone Television Studios that we may be able to use as a Doctor's Office. This will require some "dressing up" however.
