Clearances and Confirmations

You need confirmation emails from everyone that is featuring in your music
video. Please screenshot these emails including the dates and times they are
agreeing to paste them below.

If you are filming somewhere that requires permission, please obtain

permission and paste the confirmation below.
Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back up actors,
locations and equipment do you have?

I am planning to film on the 5th, 6th, 7th and 10th of Janu7ray at the field by my
house. The idea is to film in the sun and when the sun goes down etc. In the
event that it’s raining or not very sunny I plan to go to Gosmore Park in
Marlow, under the motorway bridge as it’s a good location for the style of the
song, e.g. by the river. The week that I’m going to be filming is meant to be
nice sunny weather which helps me as I won’t have to find different
locations.
