mightneedpermissionif we are filmingperhapsinthe bridgesinthe towncentre asitis private
propertyandis ownedandthere will alsobe publicaroundandwe wouldhave toask some of them
for permissionif we hadtofilma scene where there ispeopleperhapswalkingabout. We alsoneed
to make sure we are lookingafterthe borrowedequipmentasitisn’t our ownpropertyandis the
colleges,sowe needtobe extracautiouswhenfilming.
