Filming: Kane Yeardley (General Director of The Forum)

Although we originally had planned to interview Kane a couple of times before, he had not been able to make these dates but finally we arranged a day where he was available in between his busy schedule. Although only Hannah and I were able to attend the interview, Hannah took on the role of cinematographer and interviewer while I was sound recordist in place of Emily. We still helped each other such as Hannah asking my opinion of the frame she had set up and also my questions to Hannah about certain queries with the Zoom. We were happy with the background behind Kane; a bar with staff busily working away and lights making the frame connoting a warm atmosphere; something we definitely wanted to promote about the Devonshire Area. Although the Forum isn't involved in the demolition plans, Kane still passionately gives his opinion of the plans and how all of the shops are essentially a community and make up the Independent Quarter. 

One of the problems we faced on the day was a customer in the background constantly coughing throughout our interview and although Hannah asked Kane a couple of times to repeat his answers, we never got the full answers he previously stated. Also, whenever we asked him to repeat a question the customer behind coughed at them certain times again yet there was nothing we could do due to Kane's busy schedule. We also felt that in the footage, Kane's voice wasn't as passionate or vibrant as we had hoped but there was nothing we could do and worked with the answers he gave us; which were still opinionated and good for talking about the demolition plans.
