Before even going in to finding our location we had 3 things in mind.
1) It needed to be a quite and out of the way road
2) It was crucial that the flow of traffic though the area was small as we were using a Fake gun.
3) The location needed to be as un-populated as possible
Because in our intro we have danny our victim being shot whilst laying on the floor in a pool of blood there are certain procedures that we needed to make sure were closely regulated. We contacted the local police station about getting permission to film the fake shooting on the Wednesday of filming. They gave us the number of the local officer who was directly integrated within windsor boys. He then gave us a written letter saying that we had permission to film in public with a replica firearm.
What this means is that if any calls came in from the general public saying that there is a man with a gun in the particular area we were filming the call would not be sent to the local authorities so that they could intervene. We made sure that all crew and cameramen had high visibility jackets on we did this so we could guide traffic. This was because Danny was lying in the middle of the road for a very large percentage of time so there was a danger of him being in harms way of a passing vehicle, but with us guiding the traffic there was no danger of this.
