Production #1: Permission

 Hiii, so before we started this project, I honestly thought the easiest part of this project was going to be getting permission to film. The way I was so incredibly wrong is not even funny. Thankfully, my lovely partner decided to take one for the team and do this process ( we divided and conquered, at this time I was working on the storyboard and her job was to get permission). So, im going to share her long journey on how she did it! ( if I had to hear the complaints, so do you).

  So, our location that we wanted to film at is Home Depot. We thought getting permission would be an easy process so we called and you'll never believe what they said?!?!?! No. Yea they said no, pretty hard set no. However, me and my partner don't give up easily, so we decided to go to our back up option of Loew's. Nevertheless, they were just as annoying. My poor partner was going back and forth between corporate and the store itself. So we gave up on them and decided to keep pushing for Home Depot.

This was us going back and forth, just calling the companies over and over again.

 Then the emails began between my partner and Home Depot. Basically, in the email, Home Depot said no, again. But my partner had faith that we could still get permission if we went in person. So that's what we did, we took a little field trip down to our local Home Depot. We walked in, talked to a manager, and explained we were doing a school project, and they let us film!! After being sent in circles, we finallyyy got the permission we needed. 

This is the email my partner sent to Home Depot. She mentioned to me that she claimed the email was "off" and that's when we got the idea to go in person and try asking for permission.

 Sooo I guess the point of this is to never take no for an answer, or if you push people enough they'll eventually give in. Just kidding! that might set people off.
