Permission for Filming

Before our group goes filming the music video and then goes to an editing suite where it will be edited and uploaded onto YouTube which it will promote the unsigned artist's image due to the audience want to see what the visuals looks so they will remember the song in general, we had to contact the filming council for permission to avoid problems with the police so this is my responsibility to do this since I am the producer of making sure that everything is in place which everyone in our group does their job.

Location: Canary Wharf

In terms of the location that the director (Lawrence) wanted to use in our music video is Canary Wharf which it is a major business area in East London so I had to research how to get permission from them to film our music video for an unsigned artist of Johnny Hutchinson who made the track of Two Wolves. So I research how to contact the press office of Canary Wharf to ask if we can film there with their permission which I found on this PDF file via the Film London website.

 

After finding out how to contacting the press office of Canary Wharf, I emailed them about if it is ok that we can film our music video for our unsigned artist at the location on the 27 to 28th November 2016 which it is for our BTEC Media Exended Diploma Coursework where the person who we emailed was Lesley Johnson who is the head of the office and here is the screenshot of the email:

After discussion with Lesley Johnson about filming there as Roopa's group gained permission already from them and asking if we were working with them which we are not at all because we are working with an unsigned artist, he finally said that we can film at Canary Wharf but not during peak times where business people will be around but did us that we are only the group to ask for permission to film there as they do not want to accommodate a lot of people.
