You get access and permission by asking. Deceptively simple, but it's really the only way. If you can afford a location service, here in Los Angeles there are dozens of them - if you can afford to hire a location manager here in Los Angeles there are hundreds of them, if you are doing it yourself, start scouting and making the calls. Permits in Los Angeles are handled by FilmL.A., Inc. ( http://www.eidc.com/)

There are over 100 college campuses in the Los Angeles area. Most of them charge to shoot and they almost always have a liaison in the office for just this purpose. Find the campuses you like and go - in person - to discuss your plans.

-Exterior and Interior of an Apartment Building

---

There are thousands in the area. Shouldn't be a problem at all. You must know someone who lives in an apartment you could ask.

quote:

-Campus Cafeteria

---

Shouldn't this fall under your first request? Rather than a new line, just add this to your campus list. the answer is the same.

-Club

---

No different than my other advice. Find several clubs you would like to use, go (in person) and speak to the manager or owner.

-Airport Parking, Airport Curbside, Airport interior

You got this covered.

-Airplane

Shouldn't your dad be able to help you with this, too?

-Ice Cream Parlor inside a mall

I think by now you know what my answer will be.

quote:

---

-a Mall
-Victorias Secret
-Elevator(apartment)
-House for a House party, outside shots as well

---

Same answer.

quote:

-Cab

---

I've done this often. It's very simple. A cab drive doesn't care what's going on, he just wants to be paid. Hire a cab for the length of time you need to shoot and go.

-Supermarket

Same answer.

I remember how confusing it was when I was getting started. I'm happy I have this outlet to help out.
