I also emailed Press Association about permission to use their footage and was told that our head of department must write a letter explaining the project.

Visit to Tottenham

We went up to Tottenham to get location shots and interview shopkeepers who were affected by the riots. We spoke to many shopkeepers but most said they were away or they had only just bought the shop off of it's previous owner which shows the effects of the riots.

We got three interviews in the end, one from 'Everyday Pets', one from 'Sevilles Hair Salon' and a 'Mobile Repairs' shop.

We are planning on visitng Hackney and Croydon in the coming weeks so once we have all footage we will decide which/how much of, each interview we will use.

We got some location shots of Tottenham High Road:
