Main Task Filming Permissions, Health & Safety.

We thought we would need to ask permission to film in Paston church & the Nisa shop, however when it came to the days of filming no one was around in the church to ask, so we filmed and were aware that we could be asked to move if it caused a problem.The Nisa shop didn't seem to have an issue with it either. When it came to filming outside the shop, we made sure we were not causing a hazard to passers by and people in their cars (as we were quite close to a road and car park). There was always a member of our group next to the camera to look for anyone who would cause an obstruction or if we would need to move on. When filming the scenes where the Girl would be ran over we chose a quiet road down Gunthorpe to create less distractions and problems to other people. It was also safer for Laura as it meant we could shoot on the road for long periods without the traffic.
When it came to smashing the glass vodka bottle during Re shoots we made sure we smashed it within a plastic bag to prevent shards of glass harming others, therefore making it easier to clear the scene afterwards.
