Pre-production: Lunch Club Location Reccy

On the 27th September, I went to the lunch club in order to get some more information on the club, and the people who volunteer there and the customers that they have. I was able to speak with quite a few people, both a mixture of volunteers and customers, men and women, and was able to gather a lot of useful information, and this is going to help me decide who to interview. 


The club starts at 12:00, but the volunteers arrive at the church at about 11:00 so that they can set up the tables and start getting the food ready. The kitchen area is quite small, and not all of the microwaves work, so on days that the club gets busy, it can be difficult to keep up with the orders. The food is prepared at home the night before, and varies from month to month. When I went, the main was a choice of sausage casserole, chicken pie, cheese potato pie or quiche. The desserts are also homemade, and were apple crumble, cheesecake, bread and butter pudding or a sample of fruit. you can also have tea and coffee with your meal, and all of this is only £3, so is not a strain on the people who come there to eat.



I am going to be going back to the Lunch club on 31st October when it is next on, and will hopefully get to meet some new people, and get a better idea on who I am going to be interviewing when I come to film the documentary.

We felt that this idea was a strong one, as it is usually people who are older that decide to go through a tech detox, so ours seemed unique as we were going to have a teenager as the main focus of the documentary. When we were researching the science behind the affects of technology in our daily lives, we were finding lots of useful information, along with some possible case studies and locations to shoot. However, some complications arose, with colliding ideas and people not getting back to us for possible interviews, so we decided to end this idea and change it into just the general effects of technology in life, and the advantages and disadvantages of it. again, we felt like this was a strong idea due to it being from the perspective of a teenager, as they are the right ag...
