Upon arriving at Anglia Square car park to practice some filming it was apparent that it had been closed. This meant we had to look around other locations to see if they would have the same effect and opportunities. We are communicating with the manager of the car park in order to see if it is possible to still use the car park, but if this is not the case then the shot list may be subject to change.

  1. I'll look forward to seeing your raw footage! Do have a Plan B re location incase you can't get access to Anglia Square car park.
