697 Abbeydale Road Friends House	Large interior space. They built a bar in the next room which would be a green room and great for a wrap party! The room itself is around 4x4 metres and has furniture (including ping pong table!) that would have to be removed
Report
Acoustical	Very Low ceiling, bare concrete walls and floor, some carpeting there but would likely be removed. A little reverberant/tinny.
environmental	Adjacent room gets some of the traffic sounds from Abbeydale road, not much can be done about this. Heating/gas will occasionally come on but during shoot will have occupants out of the house to ensure this doesn’t disrupt any takes.
Surface	Slightly gravelly, concrete floor. Good scuffling sounds.
Art Department	Already table and chair that the scene requires Also a hook on the ceiling, hung by wrists instead of tied to chair? Pipes, atmospheric creaking
Suitability for recording	The low ceiling will make booming very tight, and the acoustics do not make for the cleanest sound, especially as some lines will be screamed Consider possibility of ADR
Recommendation Use Radio Mics as well as boom for maximum coverage in the confined spice.
