Bristol Residential Plan

Bristol Planning 

Bristol Residential Brief:

As a group you will create a 3-minute promotional video to entice students, young people, and young professionals (16-35) to visit Bristol instead of the attractions of other big cities such as: Manchester, Birmingham, and Liverpool. The film will be fresh, vibrant, and highlight all Bristol has to offer be it culture, retail, or social. The video must not contain any copyright material and must be shot in full HD (1080p). (A final edit will be submitted by all students by Friday 27th October)

Itinerary for the journey: 

For transport to and from Bristol, we as a group, have chosen to take a megabus. This is because it is by far the cheapest option against driving or getting the train. On Monday 16th October, we will meet at Nuneaton train station and catch the 10:10am train to Birmingham New St. station - arriving at approximately 10:38. We will then get on the megabus to Bristol at 10:55am (approx. a 4min walk from station to bus stop) - arriving in Bristol at around 13:05pm - our hotel is a 10min walk away from our bus stop. In regards toggling back from Bristol, on Wednesday 18th October, we will get the 12:15pm megabus back to Birmingham, arriving back at around 14:35pm. Finally, we will catch the 14:52pm train back to Nuneaton, arriving back at 15:22pm. The price for the megaus there and back £12.80.

We will be staying in the Rock & Bowl Motel for our stay during the residential

Filming Locations:

Locations near the hotel

The stars on the map indicate some of the locations where we will be getting footage. The group has been divided into four separate groups in order to be able to film footage at different landmarks across the city. We have done this because we only have the Tuesday to film, and therefore wouldn't be able to cover every site in a single group. The three locations my group is getting footage from are the: Docks (+ Thekla Venue); Arnolfini Art Gallery; and the Millennium Square. We chose these sites because they are close to our hotel, the closest is the docks, approximately a 13 minute walk away. Also, the sites are within walking distance of each other.
