Exercise 8 Using the Camera

We had a very exciting session today, after a quick briefing in the classroom we went out and about with the ipads. We did some research on local history last week and used this to decide what different places of interest we would like to visit. My class partner and I decided to go to the Horse and Jockey public house with its thatched roof we felt it was an iconic part of Wrexham. We went and spoke to the landlord who was really pleasant and helpful and gave us permission to film. He even showed us a QR code he had that connected to the history of the pub but unfortunately because we werent connected to the internet it wouldnt work. We then took photos and video of the pub. It was really hard to concentrate on focusing the camera on the right area while talking. Also there were a lot of people about and cars reversing that drowned out the voice over and made it difficult to remember what you where trying to say. It was great fun though and we managed to take a few videos and some good photos of the best features of the building. It was also interesting to learn the history of a place that Ive passed probably hundreds of times.
