Audio Problems
It appears that at the beginning of our documentary there is music playing in the background of the musuem, we didn't anticipate that the shot gun mic would pick this up as much as we thought.
I was asked to see if there was anyway to lower this sound and keep his voice the same, unfortunatly I wasn't able to do this, I tried using a bandpass filter to filter out certain frequency ranges, using the waves plugins however this affected Tony's voice too, If the background noise was at a higher frequency range or was a very low end sounding drone noise this would of being possibly by simply cutting out the frequencies using a bandpass filter from say 35Hz - 120Hz or 8KHz - 16KHz, however the background noise was quite loud and all over the place.
This has being a valuable learning experience, and something I will defintly learn from. Unfortunatly the only way around this would have being to re-record Tony's voice and then dub it over the top, due to time constraints this was not possible!

If you hear the examples the quality is seriously reduced and gives a filtered noise as expected. I could not think of any other way around this other than to automate the volume level throughout the audio to duck almost like a sidechaining effect everytime Tony speaks, I thought this would take way to long and the quality would most likely be unusable.
Robin Hood Rough Edit...
After completing our footage, over 40mins! we made a rough edit, this process was harder than expected as we had so much footage it was difficult to try and cut it all down to just 3minutes.
Storyboard Ideas
Unfortunatly the USB2.0 cable I had did not fit my DSLR camera so I was unable to bring my storyboards onto the computer, instead I collected a few relevant images and decided to explain what was going on. If I had realizied the cable did not fit I would have scanned the pics earlier in university, instead of having to do this last minute in photoshop!
Documentary Questions...
Before we started filming our documentary we prepared a few questions before we started our interview on Tony.
Can you tell us a little about your upbringing and how you ended up in Nottingham?
Is your plans to be involved in film and acting always in your mind and how do you intend to achieve ambitions outside of the tales?
Did you see yourself becoming Robin Hood or was there some other plan for your life?
Do you prefer the technical side of your job, the acting side or the educational side?
What aspect of your job gives you the most satisfaction?
