and perhaps the

school project.
>> She's in the 6th form and it would be a group of 3 people
for about an

so it would never be

Below
is a screenshot giving information about filming in the Natural History Museum:
The image
above above is the information on the national history museums website. The
text on the museums webpage states their filming policy. It clarifys that there
are fees from £350.00 per hour for commercial filming and also £80 per hour for
each member of staff needed. Commercial filming would be considered as anything
that the public are able to view this is filming work that it is not for
personal and private use. Even though are film piece is for educational use
because the film introduction would be posted on a public blogging site and
social networking sites, of blogger and youtube it would not be classed as for
personal use.
The policy
also states that the public galleries would only be allowed to filmed in out of
public opening hours, this would mean that we’d have to film some parts of the
intro out of opening hours this would mean that we’d be filming later in the
evening or early night time this would mean that the filming would become
inconvient and difficult to fit in.
This quotation below
is from the museums policy for filming and photography, stating how the
royalties that are made from the work will be shared with the museum.
“The Museum shall ensure that it has appropriate written
agreements in place with volunteers, research students, commissioned parties,
freelancers and other contracted parties to negotiate the right to apply for
and register worldwide any patent for an invention, trade mark and secrets,
designs and confidential
Information and will name creators in such
applications. In cases where this is not possible the Museum the Museum shall
explore possibilities of shared royalty provisions.”
