Permission to Film

As we already stated on the last post we went to film at Deal Castle. We are really pleased with the out come of the shots as we believe that they were effective and very atmospheric with the combination of the location and the lighting was perfect  for the military feel we were hoping to portray in our music video. Before we went to Deal Castle we wanted to gain permission to film at the location as it is an English Heritage site which does offer their locations for hire at a high price, so we wanted to know if it was okay to go and film at the location simply as a visitor. We gained permission by contacting The English Heritage through email. We received a reply from Miss Coralie Burrows-Ellis (customer service for English Heritage) that we had permission to film as we were only  filming for A level media and not for commercial reasons, she then forward the email to the site manager for Deal Castle, Benjamin Palmer, who greeted us on arrival and was great help through out our visit and provided us with all the information needed and details on the Castles history.
