Filming: Footage - Test Centre Day

We planned to interview somebody from the local Test Centre. There was no contact number or email available so whilst taking the camera out to film stock footage, we visited the test centre. There was no reception, just a small room where several instructors sat. We asked the instructors in there for permission to film posters in the room, for example: 'Think!', 'DVLA' 'Police Notice' signs.

We were unable to find an instructor to interview and there was no office or reception that was accessible to us in the test centre. When filming an establishing shot of the building, a man (seemed to be working with the test centre) questioned us about our filming and was not supportive of our idea when we explained about making an A-Level Media Driving Documentary. Explaining that we had had permission he dismissed the comment and we felt obliged to leave.

We carried on filming during the day, filming signs and cars on the road.
