Video characteristics

The beginning of the video is of an older gentleman who reveals himself as the governor of the Apprentice Boys, but never mentions his name. He is sitting behind a table with only him in the picture when another member of the Apprentice Boys appears around the 20th minute. The camera then shows this man in the frame as well. The lighting is fair but the video quality is not very good. The camera keeps going in and out of focus. The audio was good although it was tough to hear the subjects at times because of their accents.
