On Saturday we went to Thornham to film the opening of the new hall.We started off by filming exterior shot of the new hall We used the Panasonic 151.

Shots of the building were filmed first we also shot individual parts as of the building as we thought they would make great cutaways if needed.We then filmed the shield arriving and followed it inside.Later on the owners did several speeches which we filmed.

I was on sound which means I was in charge of all the audio.I recorded audio to the Panasonic 151 camera via a shotgun or rifle mic which is connected with an XLR cable I used this mic because it's good at picking up sound from one particular direction and worked very well during the filming of the speeches.I used a boom pole which allowed me to record from further away.

I believe the filming went very well and I really enjoyed the whole day but it would of been nice if we could have done a recce prior to shooting just to ensure we knew what to do.
