Before going to London and searching for possible locations we thought it would be a good idea to research possible locations on the internet so that we could save time when we go to London. This research can be found on

On the 5th November the group and i went to London to look at some of the Locations that Amber had researched on the internet. We first looked at areas at Westminster , such as the Millennium Eye, Houses of Parliament and St James park.To gain a more in depth idea of how each area could be used to its full potential.

We knew that these places were what we were looking for , for our perfume advert. We thought we could use the train station for the first shot as it requires a man walking out the train station. We also said that shots 6-10 we could use St James’ park as the advert requires a chase where the male and female hide between the trees.

We then went on to visit Buckingham Palace because as we wanted to use the water fountain and the steps that can be found outside the palace gates, in addition Kim had already incorporated these scenes into the storyboar for shots 10-15.

We also took some practice shots of what type of shots we were going to include in our perfume advert.

This shot would involve the female looking down at the male , as he looks around for her , unaware of where she is.

This shot would involve the man looking up at the woman as she looks away trying not to draw his attention.

While we were at the Palace Amber and Kim spoke the police to see what our filming rights where. The officer said that we would have to obtain a free permit in order to film. So to do this Amber emailed the office explaining what we intended to do, we are still awaiting a reply.

The office still have not replied , so Kim emailed them again , so that we could progress further with our coursework , as it might hinder our filming if we do not obtain this permit.
