Filming Problems

Today we were meant to be filming the bass narrative in a building of heritage called Valentines Mansion House situated in Ilford. However there was a problem, that many real production companies have to face, that occurred in the lead up to the filming. The problem was to do with something called liability insurance, initially we just had to give the company that was helping us organise the filming the liability insurance that the school is covered by, however when we managed to get the documentation sent to the company it turned out that it was for the wrong thing. The insurance was covered by the borough and not the school so we wouldn't be able to film unless a woman called Rhian Sharpe, who was helping us sort out our filming at the Mansion, was able to get a hold of the person who issued the insurance to the school. In the end she wasn't able to get a hold of him in time so we weren't able to get a filming license and we weren't able to film at the mansion. She did however state that if we wished to film at the mansion again we would just have to ask her and she would try and sort it out for us. I think our short coming came because we didn't incorporate enough time to clear the legal side of the filming procedure as it was something that we were not used to, that being said I think it was a good experience that all of us can take away and apply to situations in the future and we should attempt to film at the mansion sometime in the new year. Below is the chain of emails that details the situation of our filming troubles:
