CREATIVE PROJECT PLANNING DEADLINE IS HERE!

AS YOU KNOW, THE DEADLINE FOR PLANNING DOCUMENTS TO APPEAR ON YOUR BLOG IS TODAY. ONLY WHEN I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHECK THESE WILL YOU BE ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND FILM. THE LIST OF PLANNING TASKS IS REPRINTED BELOW TO REMIND YOU:

You will be granted permission to film once you have completed all stages of the pre-production work. 

Use the checklist below to help you meet this requirement.
