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.

I feel like I managed to overcome the challenges that arose in a good manner, and also made some decisions that led to some very good results. The first thing that I could have done better is doing more thorough research, and trying harder to contact people from the club outside of club hours. If I had done this sooner, then I would have a better portfolio of more people who attend the club. I did manage to interview quite a few people at the club, both volunteer and customer, so I feel like I still had quite a good range of opinions, however it would have been good to broaden the types of questions that I asked them, such as what they did before coming to the club, or how they heard about the club. I feel like this would have been better to do as then the audience could build up more of a relationship to the characters, and
