Today me and my group met up in Blackpool. I only live 10 minutes from the town center so I met the rest of my group at Blackpool train station. We first headed to the Tower Ballroom to see if this would be a good place for our photo shoot location and although it really is a stunning place, we felt that the space was too big and the colours weren't right. We wanted bright fun colours and the ballroom was too gold and grand and had an old feel about it. So we headed to a few arcades on the prom and surprisingly, we were told by the managers that there is no way we would be aloud to do a photo shoot in there!
Next we headed to the pier and we felt that this could be the perfect place for our shoot, it had the fun, vintage, retro and bright feel that we are going for! We then hopped on a tram to the pleasure beach to look at the Alice and wonderland ride and tea cups to tie in with Strictly Cupcakes vintage tea room theme. Victoria in my group emailed the marketing manager of the Pleasure Beach while we were there to tell her about our plans to shoot there and amazingly, she emailed back on Victoria's train home to say she was really interested in our project and she was happy to give as many free passes we need for us and photographer etc! So we are now all feeling really positive and excited and our next step will be to ask Dave the uni photographer to help out. :)
