Location Shots and Letters of Permission

Here are some of the locations I will be using in filming. The first three are of the hallway in my house, where my actor Lucy Carr will be featured running away from her parent, to her bedroom. I think it looks quite traditional and wooden, which sticks to the theme well and has the right look I want to create.


 The photo below is a simple shot of my back garden which will be used for the outdoor party scene.

During the scene in which my main character of the music video (Lucy) "vandalizes" a church I am going to film at a local church (which I happened to film at last year). I wrote to them:
 Fortunately, they granted me permission, and I will be filming on a Saturday, as that is the most available date.
 For the nightclub scene I thought I would write to a local club to see if they would allow me to film there, as it would make a great scene if I could. After sending the email, it actually dawned on me that I don't think I would be able to get a large amount of people together to travel by bus for about 20 minutes. Nevertheless, they didn't reply!
Instead, I went to speak to the head of drama at school to see if I could book a drama studio afterschool for a few hours of filming. I was granted permission for the 1st November. Kindly, a friend of a friend operated the lights to make them flash for some of the shots I was going to do.

Above is the drama studio I filmed part of my music video in. It didn't work very well for filming a party scene in, as I didn't have enough people in the room to fill it up!



The above image is the church at which I filmed. It was the same one I filmed my AS production at! I chose to film at this church in particular as I knew I would probably be allowed to film there, and because it was usually empty and accessible.
