We emailed several jewelry shops and even went to ask in person for permission to film inside their shops for our short film and we got rejected three times. It was becoming very clear to us that filming the inside of an actual jewelry shop wasn't going to happen because of the security regulations most jewelry shops have.
We then thought of cutting the scene and simply having a shot of a Jewelry shop sign, and the dog owner and Finley just walking into the shop and walking out again. This was a possibility, however we wanted emphasis that the dog owner was buying an engagement ring and it would have been harder to have focus on this if we didn't have a seen where we see him choosing the 'perfect' ring.
The only thing I didn't have however were the
blue, velvety style boxes which engagement rings and expensive looking jewelry typically comes in, so I ordered a bulk load (for a low price) a bulk load of ring, earring and necklace boxes.
Here are some pictures of the individual boxes of jewerly -

When laid out and positioned on the glass it looked exactly like necklaces, earrings and rings on a glass cabinet inside a real jewelry shop.
What have you decided to do then? This needs to be much clearer on the blog, with reference to the synopsis, storyboard and practical implications of having to film elsewhere. Continuity?
