I am in the middle of pre-production on a short film I'm hoping to shoot within the next few weeks, but something occurred to me: for several scenes, I need to shoot in front of a business (in this case, a motel). If I receive their verbal permission, are there any other legalities I need to consider in order to film the exterior of this business?
Also, to film the shot, I intend to stand on another business's property. Again, same question goes: if they allow my crew and me to stand and shoot the scene, what other forms of permission are needed?
While you're here, let me bother you with another question: filming in public (not a park or whatnot), such as railroad tracks, a neighborhood street (leaving homes/people out), etc.?
Thanks!
