Digital News Production - Contacting the Managing Director of Hugh Lowe Farm


Today was my second attempt to contact Hugh Lowe farms managing director. I called up the farm and was answered by the their receptionist. I told her all our intention of wanting access to go and film in Hugh Lowe and talk to some of the workers and people who run the farm. However both managing directors were out for the day and she had no idea when they would return. This was a big problem as they have yet to answer one of my calls or call me back after the last time when I left a voice message. I asked to if I could speak to anyone else who was in charge or that could help with my quire, however she again told me that there was no one available at the moment. She then gave me the email address for on of the other managing directors. I sent them an email about what we want to do and will hope for a email back, otherwise I will call again. I will call them again in a couple of days.

Overall I've learnt from this that you need to contact places which you want to film way in advance to even get through to someone to get the permission. Other wise keep calling and emailing untill you get a response but be carful not to create a bad rapor with people.
