Health and Safety

It is essential when filming that we are aware of the dangers we could encounter, and the protection of our protagonist is essential. Due to this, here is our research around health and safety.

Despite her being drunk, we do film her giving consent to the boy at the party by laughing and nodding, and in the 'bedroom scene', she takes a step forward. This is important so it is not suggested as rape. Below is a link to the health and safety guidelines we are given and the consent given by our protagonist's parents:

This video shows an attempt where you can see the drugs still in her hand after put to her mouth:
