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

Documentary unit: Jackie interview

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit. We needed to rearrange the house to better suit an interview, and when we realised that we would have to do that, we were glad that we were filming in one of our own homes instead of Jackie's house, or in a public area, as we then had control over the whole environment. Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match.

Decision evaluation

Decision evaluation During the writing phase, I drew inspiration from the surroundings at my dad’s house, as there is an orchard on one side and a field on the other. This inspired me because I could imagine something happening within the orchard, and no one knowing due to them being well hidden. This was the starting point for my script, so I needed to develop a story from this. The idea of a murder came from the effectiveness of the orchard hiding whoever was in it, so I thought that this was the perfect place for a murderer to commit his crime.   In wanted my story to have a twist, so I thought of a person stumbling across the murder scene, and the killer giving the innocent person a choice of either possible death, or helping with the body and walking away. I thought that this was a good idea as it is a scenario not often seen in films, so was a unique twist. Between the scripts that I wrote for my short film ‘Decision’, I had to change quite a lot in order to make it more e...
