Plan of Filming

My plan will be to borrow 2 DSLR cameras from Bradford College, 1 LED Light Panel and an external microphone. I will be coordinating with the Nasheed Artists via Messages or WhatsApp to set a time and location. At the time of writing this up (7.12.23) I have not set a time or location.
