Permission To Film By Shivangi Gupta

To be able to film in their establishment, it was obligatory to gain permission first. I had to specifically email Emma Gascoigne the Communications and Social Media manager. There was a precise set of questions that had to be

answered in the email to ensure she had a clear understanding.

I integrated formal language, so there was a sense of professionalism and maturity.

Due to a delay in response, I took the prospect of phoning Emma Gascoigne. I felt this was a beneficial move that I had made as it rectified

the situation. There was a form of miscommunication where Miss Gascoigne believed she had previously sent a message.

The phone conversation was on the 14th February, 2012. She requested if I could send my previous message (which was sent on…) giving an overall

context of our filming.

We were in constant communication, I promptly sent messages so she was continually updated.

This was the final correspondence where I thanked her for granting us permission. When reflecting back on the journey it

was time-consuming. However it was valuable lesson learnt as I was able to persevere and not lose hope. The phone conversation was a stepping stone for me as I was able to communicate with

someone independently and without any guidance.
