Filming blog: The Wait

This is the first filming blog of the production process. My partner and I have still not begun filming. This is because we want to sort out all the kinks so that we can have a smooth film. One of these kinks is in the picture above. This is a screenshot of the email I sent to Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport (FLL). This email requests permission to film at the airport so if we went without their knowledge we wouldn’t be kicked out. They soon responded asking for more details into what we would be doing at the airport so that we could be approved. This makes sense as I was not very descriptive in what my group would be doing. So we responded with this:
 “ Good morning Ms. Arlene,

Our project is a 2 minute movie that is completely made by us. We have to film a short scene ( around 10-20 seconds) outside and inside of the airport. We won’t be filming with any big cameras or heavy equipment. We will just be filming with our phones. All we will be doing is filming a scene of a person taking out some bags and walking into the airport. Thank you,                       Xavier.”
I believe that we could get an email back to be a little more descriptive of what we’re doing. There is a chance though, that we could be approved by the airport very soon. There is also a chance that they would be redirected to FXE, or Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. This would be a pretty big problem as they were our first choice for an airport because they are smaller and our school has a good relationship with them. However, when we emailed them, we didn’t receive a response for a few days, so we emailed FLL. FLL responded in the same day, but FXE still haven’t responded.
