Before filming in London, the filmmakers had to seek permission from local boroughs to ensure their filming was approved and legal. Due to time constraints, they were unable to obtain written permission in the form of Location Release Forms, so they emailed location-specific contacts instead. They used the Film London website to find the areas they wanted to film, then used a provided table to identify and email the relevant contacts to request permission.
1. Filming Permission
Before my partner and I filmed in London we had to seek permission from the local
boroughs to ensure what we were doing was approved of and we were not breaking
any laws. Due to lack of time and inconvenience, we could not get written permission
in the form of Location Release Forms therefore we emailed different contacts
specific to the certain location we planned to film in.
We went on www.filmlondon.org.uk which provided us with all the relevant
information that we needed to further seek permission. By finding the areas that we
wanted, we used a table provided by Film London to identify the contact and the
contact’s email we needed before sending an email seeking permission.
