The email I sent to our Media teacher about the mini bus hire.

In order for our first day of filming to be successful my production partner and I need to get everything organised so that the day runs smoothly. In order to get to our chosen location we would need to hire a mini bus big enough for all our equipment and the people that are helping us. Due to the fact that neither of us own a mini bus I decided to email our Media teacher about the enquiry of a mini bus hire because I thought this would be the best option for us. After a few days our Media teacher got back to me and suggested that we go and visit the school office to find out if hiring a mini bus would be possible. So we went to the school office and sorted out a mini bus for Thursday 14th November 2013, which was our first day of filming, hiring a mini bus was the best way to get all of the equipment to the location. It made the day much easier to get through and it meant that no one had to use public transport which was good because it takes longer to get to the location by bus.

This is a map of the route we took in order to get to our location, the journey was about 15 minutes long which is more efficient than going by bus because it would've taken longer that way. We decided to change the location of filming because Hainault forest was much further away compared to The Chase and it would've taken a lot longer to get there with could have potentially put us behind schedule. This means that we might've had to do 2 days of filming instead of 1 so in theory it was a much better idea to change the location and hire a mini bus.
