Comments
 By analyzing this different locations we have though of some
initial ideas on where to film.We have decided to use a variety of
the locations.We will start furthest away and then use the close
locations to fill in any gaps of filming that we need.We haven't got
definite yet as we don’t the amount of filming we need. However
we will probably rule out the locations that don’t offer much
variety like the downs or Bedminster.This is because there is no
point travelling there only to get a couple of seconds of filming
done.
 We also need to consider permission for using different locations.
Some of the locations are use for the public so we can use them
freely. However some of the locations of private land so we would
need permission to access them, we can also do this nearer the
time when we have a definite on our locations.
