CHORLTON WATER PARK LOCATION SHOOT - September/October 2008

Debbie writes: "I am currently making a short film about Chorlton Water Park and the service it provides to the community. As the film may be seen by the public, there are broadcast regulations to consider, such as taste and decency, copyright issues and consent paperwork from participants. Broadcast compliance is one of many subjects I am researching as part of my ongoing studies and will be invaluable to my future career in the television industry."

Louise says: 'Filming in such a beautiful location was a godsend, in the past we have been unlucky to work in murky fields in the pouring rain. We were blessed with good weather on these occasions. We had to be fully aware of our surroundings, including getting consent from parents when their children were on camera, and making sure we did not film anything inappropriate. Working with Debbie and Mike again was much fun. Without Deb, I'm sure we wouldn't have gotten anywhere!"

Mikke adds: "The footage we have acquired includes a wide range of material showing the events that go on and the vast selection of wildlife, which looked very visually beauitiful. It was a a lot different than previous work because it was great being able to interact with the public and film them participating in different activities as it was our intention to illustrate all the different things you can do at the park to persuade people who watch it to go there."
