Today, we decided that we should follow up on one of the locations I found to serve as a quiet road where we can film some footage of one of us driving the car (This would almost certainly be Alex, being as he is the only one of us who is over 21 years of age, as the restrictions apply).
The road that we took a look at was Pilgrims Way and Water Lane in Boxley, Maidstone. Upon arriving, there was some great enthusiasm for the location I had found. Closer observation revealed that there was an old railway bridge which narrows the already narrow road. The area underneath is also quite dark, meaning that there could be some good shots of the car slowly emerging from the dim, and then presenting itself in its 'futuristic glory' as it were.
There are several raised parts of land surrounding the bridge, meaning that we can get some higher angle shots of the bridge and, indeed, the car itself. there are also several lay-bys which can be used as camera positions.
Another positive thing about this road was, in the twenty minute space we were at the location for, we only encountered one other car, meaning that this road is not busy at all. We would obviously need permissions to film on this road, with possible road closure, as with all filming on roads.
This footage would be included as part of the 'package' segment of the news report.
