Paul Smith and THE END OF FILMING

WE FINISHED FILMING!
Today we went to Brighton early in the morning to interview Paul Smith at Brighton Swimming Centre near the marina. As soon as we got there we were greeted by Paul and offered a hot drink (putting us in a good mood after the cold weather). 
Due to the Sony Z1's not being available we had to use other equipment. This included:
A Nikon Camera, a standard tripod, a marantz PMD-661, a fish pole and an AKG 414 condensor studio microphone. I had used the microphone and recorders for my other module so I was used to this however I hadn't had much experience with the nikon before. 
The only troubles we had with the interview was the sound - the microphone is extremely good and picked up a lot of background sound. And the framing. There was a lovely life ring hanging up on the wall which we wanted to get in the shot however the sofa was too far down and it looked off.
Overall, the interview went really well and we found out a lot - including Paul Smith being an ancestor of Martha Gunn!
After the interview we walked to Brighton Marina and got a few more fill shots of the boats on the water. 
We concluded a very tiring day out with looking at birds at the bus stop, having a bit to eat and getting the bus home so we could upload the footage to the computer.

Below are a few photographs I took throughout the day.
