Development On Permission From London Underground

After sending the previous email to 'London Underground Film Office' they responded with the email below, this shows the details that I filled out for their application form. As you can see a lot of effort is needed when looking into using a location such as this. This is due to large film producers often using this in A list films. Researching and looking at the website we found the costs. For a student production it costs £35 for a day permit, which we felt was acceptable. However, looking in closer detail we found that to publish our final product online (in this case on this blog) it would have cost the minimum of £150, we felt this was too much money for this specific production. Especially as there is only two members in our group and our school was unable to fund us some of the money.

Therefore, we needed to come up with a decision quickly as filming of this particular aspect of our music is meant to be on Tuesday 26th October during half term. Me and Rachel to share our ideas over Facebook, here is what Rachel had to say: "Amelia, thinking about this is more depth, going up to London and getting random people isn't going to work, because one, we need to film it loads of times to get good angles and stuff and we need to be able to boss them about etc, also London's too far to cart people up with us, why don't we use closer places like Harlow which is pretty dodge, and my mum and dad said they'd act out an argument lol, and my mum even suggested she would be up for dressing like a *slag* in an alley lol. I'm just thinking that will be so much more practical. We still may need to go up to London and film the protest place, against the Iraq war etc, and the train setting, but I'm thinking our arrangements to just film and hope we'll find people wont work."

After much deliberation we both agreed using a train station nearer to Saffron Walden would be a more appropriate idea due to convenience.
