I got into the studios early to upload the footage and to make sure the batteries were fully charged. Then I was off again to Newnham Court to do some exterior stores that are not part of the main centre.
I started at Model World, which was good for customers as this more of a hands-on store compared to some of the others. One of the employees requested not to be filmed when he was behind a certain desk as he was not doing work he was being paid for there, but when he was serving customers I could film to my hearts content.
Filming at Bricks Coffee House wasn't easy for two reasons, the first being that the amount of tables meant it was difficult for me to set-up the camera tripod, the second being the fact two women in the centre of the Coffee House didn't want to be on film but didn't necessarily want to move either.
The next place to film was Pure Hairdressing which is by-far the best place so far. They only had two customers there when I arrived, one didn't want to be recorded because she felt she looked awful due to the dye still being on her hair and the other was one of the employees. Whilst I was setting-up the camera the girls working there snapped straight into action without any prompting. First they moved the lady with the hair dye to the corner chair and put the large dryer around her so she could not be seen. Then two of them took to the seats whilst they had their colleagues pretend to "work" on their hair. Clearly they want to appear busy and popular for the advert which was perfectly fine by me (but I feel they have done this before).
When I went next door to Pure Beauty Essentials there weren't any customers but people were due to arrive fifteen minutes later so I disappeared to Cotswold Outdoor where once again customers were ducking the camera so as to not get in my way. It is surprising the amount of things you're meant to take with you when you are hiking or camping.
Back at Pure Beauty Essentials two customers had arrived, one having a manicure and the other having a pedicure. The one having a manicure didn't want her face in the advert but filming her hands were fine. The lady having the pedicure was very happy to be in the advert, feet are just feet.
On my way back to Pure Beauty Essentials from Cotswold Outdoors the skies opened and I got drenched so when I finished I didn't go back to the studios to upload the footage, I went straight home to drip dry.
