Me and Emily took time out of our lesson in the afternoon to drive to Hertford East Train Station to film the shots of the train arriving and departing from the station.
We set up our camera and tri-pod on the left side of the station to avoid filming any members of the public. We successfully shot the train shots and came back to school to capture the footage.
Our team mate Sam Walton wrote a letter to Ware Train Station which is connected to Hertford Train Station to ask permission to film in the station. We had no reply from them so we went on a filmed anyway.
A train driver asked me and Emily on the platform if we had permission and we politely stated that we had sent a letter previously. She accepted this and gave us her permission.
This is the letter we had sent to the Train Station:

Dear Sir/Madam
I am a sixth former studying A-Level Media Studies at Chauncy School. I am currently planning my final video production and I am writing to ask your permission to film outside and on the platform at Ware Station.
This filming would last approximately 30minutes, and would not require filming of the general public. Only three students would be involved.
If you require further details you are welcome to contact my Media Studies teacher Mrs Allison at Chauncy School on 01920 411 200. In addition, you can also contact me on 07702 100060.
Yours Faithfully.
Sam Walton
