A2 G324: LOCATION PERMISSION

LOCATION PERMISSION:

GOD'S OWN JUNKYARD -

Since my focus group and I have agreed on a location I needed to get permission before I began to produce a story board. I did not want to imagine specific shots and there to be no guarantee on the location. This is how I went about asking for their permission:

GMAIL:

Before emailing God's Own Junkyard I phoned their main office to ask whether I will be able to film there for an 1 hour. I spoke to a kind lady on the phone who told me what to do and when the best days for filming were. However, since the signs are copyrighted filming is not allowed without a price. 

I never received an email back from the junkyard therefore, I called their weekend only phone line and asked to speak to someone who deals with venue hires. I was told by a polite lady that the original cost of hire for an hour is £200.00 however, I explained that I am a school student and do not have the sufficient funds for the venue. 

Fortunately, it was agreed that we would settle for £125.00 for an hour to have the venue for ourselves. It was a good deal since the shots will turn out high quality and the music video will look aesthetically pleasing.

The filming date - Friday 3rd November at 10:30am.

This is the only location I will need permission from.
