Location permission

Searching for stagecoach…

As part of the music video, bus is one of the important requirements, which made me curious whether or not I would be able to get permission from stagecoach to film on a local bus. So I searched them on the internet to find their contact number so I could call in directly and have a direct answer. I found their number and dialed it on my phone.

Call to StagecoachAfter finding their number on the internet I called them on 01482 222333 first and then when I asked them they told me to ring 01482 222800, so I did.

The result with the final call was a rejection of my request of permission. This meant that I ask for my final hope, college busses.

Permission for college bus use…

Due to the rejection of Stagecoach I e-mailed my tutor for advice, which I still have not received a reply. As a result in order to save time I have come to a conclusion that I am going to change the plan and the story board.

Research for number to call

In order to film, I needed to ask for permission for the location I was going to use which was Meze on Cottingham Road. A Turkish restaurant with Turkish and Greek meals. I searched ‘meze hull’ through Google, and above were the results that appeared. the section on the right was what I used although Meze have their own website as shown through the box above. So I added the number to my contacts as ‘Meze’

After adding them I made the call, which lasted 2 minutes. During the call I asked if they knew Turkish, which they did. I was going to ask for the manager but knowing that they work as husband and wife there was no need. I gave them the outline. They asked around what time and when, which I said i'm not sure yet I just wanted to confirm and have your permission. We came to a conclusion that the best time for filming would be during week days and either at 11am or 2pm. I thanked them and they said it was no problem.
