Weather conditions

We have had multiple chances to film our opening video however we have had many complication and difficulties to do this because of the weather. Our original idea was that the scene would be set in a spring days however with it being winter it is difficult for us to do this. Some errors that we have witnessed is that shooting in the opposite weather to what you want really is more difficult than expected. As we need a bit of breeze and sunshine we have been getting rain and snow. 

On the first Monday we tried filming it had snowed, we then planned to film later that week but the snow hadn't gone and just turned into ice. This would of been dangerous as we have to bike in the filming therefore it isn't good to put ourselves in danger. 

After that we planned to film the following Monday and Tuesday, but unfortunately we were expected heavy rain. 

We have decided to film on Sunday and Monday. With the complications we have experienced we have made sure to check the weather to ensure these complication don't happen again. 

Letter to Apple Records

Below is the letter we wrote to Apple Records asking if we could use The Beatles - Blackbird in our opening.

Apple Records

To Whom this may concern,

I'm currently studying A-Levels at Ken Stimpson Community School. As part of my Media course I have to create a filming opening.

To my knowledge Apple Records owns the rights to the song Blackbird by The Beatles. If this is the case then please may I use the song as part of my opening. The film opening is for educational purposes only and will be only seen by my teacher and the examiner.

If I don’t hear from you then I assume it’s okay for me to use the song.

Yours sincerely,

Laura Clark
