Test shoot weekend

Saturday
For the location recce on Saturday, we split up and visited 8 locations.

Hannah, Henry and Sameer visited:

Millennium mills: location was idea, however they were removed by security due to lack of permission.

Orchard House: location was not suitable

Peruvian Wharf: Location was not suitable

Silver town: location was secured off for extension of the airport.

Feltham, Hanworth house: spoke to a man who suggested other locations and allowed us to look around the house, however he was unsure about whether we could obtain permission.

Louise and Josh visited:

Forty Hall and grounds: unable to obtain permission to shoot inside, also public functions taking place. Grounds are too well kept for our video.

Forest and allotment area: some good locations for plan B shoot, or for one band member to be tied up. Some good security camera shots taken.

Hatfield house: Grounds are very extravagant. Maze would be appropriate for one band member to be tied up. HOWEVER...there is an entrance fee of £5 per person, and the grounds are busy. It closes at 8 pm and so, shooting in the dark would not be possible.

Maize Maze: good location for one band member, however it closes at 5:30 and closes for the autumn season in mid-September.

NEXT...
following the disappointing outcome, we decided to think of some new ideas for an alternative video. We agreed on a new idea (treatment to follow) and set out on Sunday to find some iconic locations in London. Once again we split up, Henry and Hannah went shopping for costumes, and Sameer and Louise went to the London eye and Westminiser station, while Josh researched props, costume amd locations on the internet.
Video footage and images of locations coming soon...
