Advice about permission and Rights clearances
If you film an actor inside a store or restaurant – you need written permission to use the location and also to show the chain's name or trademark.
If you film outside a store or restaurant you do not need permission to show its name or trademark – however, if the location chosen is used to communicate a negative message in your film (for example, a film about 'poisoned restaurant food') you may risk legal proceedings.
You do not need to ask passers-by for permission to feature their faces in a film. Under UK law, the copyright of film shot in a public place resides with the filmmaker.
