Our plan for this week was to film in betting shops and get some shots of the virtual roulette and virtual blackjack etc. However this is proving difficult for me and my group, as we are finding it hard to gain access to film on their premises as it is company policy that people cannot film in the betting shops. The other thing we were going to do was to film some shots of lottery ticket stands and scratch cards in post offices etc, however this is also proving hard as we are not allowed to film on their premises either. In order to overcome the situation of gaining access in a betting shop, we phoned head office of a betting shop called William Hill in order to try and get permission to film in a local betting shop. The person we spoke to on the phone was very helpful and said he would speak to a few people in order to try and gain permission, however he didnt get back to us, but we will continue to try and get it sorted out.
If we do not gain permission, we may have to resort to secretly filming in a betting shot. This could however mean that we get some poor quality shots and have the risk of getting asked to leave the premises.
