When shooting your project it's important to know what areas you are allowed to record in and which are off limits. For example, government area's are usually always out of the question (unless you have connections or the money for proper permits), places like train stations, airports, or private areas like the mall or even some public parks are off limits. Make sure before you shoot your production you have the permissions you need.
For the most part, if you want to shoot in local areas in your city, talking will get you a long way, especially if it is a school project. For example, talking to your local coffee shop or restaurant owner about filming inside their place is not very difficult and for the most part we have seen that they are usually excited to be a part of something like that.
One important tip is to carry location and model releases for the places and people you are shooting. Below are links to some example release forms you can use for your projects.
Took me time to read all the comments, but I enjoyed the article.
