Day 4 - Our first Interview

I realise that at a time where any free moment I have to do my dissertation, I seem to be prioritising my blog over it - "oh that's a bummer, I'll do it tomorrow", well from now I'm going to try and keep posts shorter.

Today was a good step in the right direction, Dayo managed to organise an interview with someone from an up and coming Nigerian digital media tech company. The interview lasted approximately half an hour located within their block of offices, unfortunately I can't say what was spoken about due to the conversation being withheld for the documentary but also because I just didn't register what was said, too busy operating sound and second camera which can always be a bit of a struggle at the same time but manageable.

 would also have to present at the meeting

Beforehand we had a second and last meeting with Dayo's business advisor at a location out of town, Sam and I found out that they had managed to secure a meeting with the heads of brands and comms from a couple of popular banks of Nigeria tomorrow. What had to be done now was to prepare and rehearse the presentation and pitch, we learnt that Dayo's advisor will be leaving tomorrow so as support the two of us will be presenting also.

On our way out of the meeting with Dayo's advisor, we met three young locals who were sat at a bench chilling. We couldn't resist but get a few shots of them, the opportunities are endless for natural aesthetics and rawness around Nigeria.

Going back to the interview, once we had covered cutaway shots the man we interviewed took us up to the rooftop, the views were outstanding, 360 lookout point around Lagos with the longest bridge and hectic rush hour traffic in eye-line. On top of this there was lighting at sunset.

So those were the highlights of today, we got home around 20:00, no time to dip in the pool after dinner unfortunately. After DIT'ing and blogging it was 01:00, plus the generator at the house turns off at 1am so no air conditioning, fans or electricity after then. We had a sweaty night to look forward to.
