The One With the Railroad Museum


Where I'm filming


    As described in one of my previous posts, on February 15, I explained how I'm going to be filming at a museum that has what I need for my first scene. AKA, the railroads and old trains. This museum is the Gold Coast Railroad Museum.  

    I can't exactly just waltz in there with a number of suitcases and bags in hand and be like "Let me film in here!" At least I don't think I should. Thankfully, they have a complete website where they provide their phone number and email. Usually, I'd send an email first, but in this case I will be calling and asking for permission directly instead. 

    Since this museum provides services such as events and photoshoots, I'm thinking it won't be too big of a deal to ask for permission for something like that. And after a small conversation with my Media Studies teacher, I know I have to explain that this project is for school and is non-profit, along with the little details they'd have to know for this to go smoothly. 

    I'm planning to film at least the railroad scene this weekend on Saturday, on which they're open from 10:00AM-4:00PM, which I think gives me plenty of the time I need to get this scene done. 

    I don't see many obstacles besides the entrance fee. And as for that, I already had a conversation with my mom (the main adult helping me with SOME parts of the project), and we both agreed that considering how great the location is, it'd be no issue. 

    I will update this segment of my blog when I've called the Gold Coast Museum and have more information!
