Pre-production: Lunch Club Visit 2

On the 31st October, I went back to the Lunch Club which is being the focus of my documentary in order to get some more information about the people who go there. I wanted to go more than once as I wanted to try and talk with people who hadn't been at the club the previous month. 

I spoke with one woman called Dee, and she was really friendly and informative. the reason why she started coming to the club was that she had recently moved to the area and did not know anyone, but heard about the club and thought it would be a good place to meet new people. She has not been coming to the club for over 5 years. it is this type of story that I want to show in my documentary. She is also on the ministry care team at the church, so she comes to the club partly for the meal and social aspect of it, but also to interact with the customers and see if they need anything that the care team can provide

One other person there was called Jean, and she was a volunteer, but I was not able to talk with her the previous month. She has been coming to the club for about 2 years, and originally came to the club as a customer, but one day she was asked to help out, and she just stuck with it. she told me that she really enjoys coming to the club and helping out the people who come to it. she told me that for most of the people who come here, both customer and volunteer, this is an important day for them.

I spoke with several other people, and was looking forward to coming to the club the next month

This was the idea that I thought of. A chat show, but the guests do activities, similar to graham norton or Ellen degeners  First half could be getting to know the guests, some stories that they have ( either embarrassing or saucy etc ) Have some general chat between the guests, of which there are two or three. Not as scripted as it needs to feel like a natural conversation  Second half is the guests doing some activities, such as CAH, or similar to Norman VT from last years project. Have two or three different activities  End with scores, winner gets a prize, loser(s) have to do a forfeit. My partner had the idea to have a talent show for the disabled, so we decided to combine the two and have a chat show that focuses on the mentally or physically disabled, and ...
