Filming at reservoir - cancelled

Filming at Banbury reservoir
I wanted the end shot of my video to be very dramatic.  What I had in mind was a mid-close up of the girl as she falls backwards into water. This shot will represent her dying; shes falling to be submerged in the drugs and sadness.  In order to film at the reservoir, I needed to get permission from someone with authority there.  I emailed a man called Trevor to get permission.  The Image to the left shows the email in which I sent the man to gain permission.  Trevor did reply and gave me permission to so.  We agreed to film on Sunday 25th February at 9:00 am.  However, when it came to the night before it was the morning of filming, I got another email from Trevor saying that the weather conditions meant that it'd be too dangerous to fall into the reservoir.  The conditions were too cold and he was worried that I would go into shock.  
In order to have the same sort of impact with the finishing shot, I began to try and think of an alternative.  This is when I came up with a slight narrative change and had the idea that she kills herself.  This lead to me having her hang herself in the trees.
