On the day of production we ran straight into a problem. Me and two other members of the group were going to meet up at Bradford College to collect the filming equipment but we ended being a man down which meant me and another member of my group had to carry the equipment between us. The equipment included, a professional hdv camera, a tripod, a smaller mini dv camera and the digital audio equipment.
As before we took the train and met up with the member of our group who lived close to the centre. We then got a taxi up to the centre just like before. We arrived at the centre 15 minutes before the children were expected to arrive so we could set up the equipment and make sure everything was ok.
When we got their we weren't sure whether if any of the children were going to bring back the parental consent forms so we could film them. If not many of them did bring back the forms we had plan. We were going to take still shots of the children who didn't bring back the forms. To take the still shots we were going to use the smaller mini DV camera.
When children started to come into the centre we were surprised by the number of the number of children that showed up. At first we expected about 5 children would turn up but when it came to the filming day there was definitely over ten. As it turned out only a couple of the children brought back their parental consent forms. So with the the children who brought back the forms we were going to interview them after they had created their poster.
As they came in we told the children what we here for and told them what we would like them to do. I was surprised about how the children just dived straight into creating the posters. With the digital audio equipment we decided to record an audio version of the session. So that none of the children would step on it or mess with it we put it in a safe place.
After one of the children who had brought back their consent forms had finished their poster we decided to interview them. We asked the child questions about the poster that they had created and asked what the child what would want to do in the as a career. After the interview the session had finished and we packed all the equipment away and checked we hadn't forgotten anything. We decided to separate the equipment between the three of us so we had at least one piece of equipment to carry.

Interaction- first meeting with Angie Stack
With our proposal ready a member of our group contacted Angie Stack who is the events orgainser at Hainworth Wood Community Centre. A member of my group sent her an e-mail to try and organise a meeting with her so we could tell her our idea on what we want to do at the community centre.
To keep a record of the meeting we used the digital audio equipment to record the people's voices who attended the meeting. Me and another of the group took the train to meet up with an other member of our group who lived close by to the community centre. From the train station we took a taxu up to the community centre and went straight into the meeting with Angie Stack.
At the start of the meeting our group talked about what we wanted to do at the comunity centre. After we had talked to her about it she agreed to let us film people at the community centre. She also gave us low down on what needed sorting out before we could actually do the filming. She told us about how she will have to create parent consent forms for the children so that went it comes to filming the children will have to bring back the forms signed by their parents. She did warn us that it may be short notice and not many chidlren may bring back the forms but we took the chance.
Also during the meeting we talked about times and dates of the filming. We settled on a date and discussed what else needed doing and we told Angie Stacjk we would send her a poster advertising the event at the centre and also othe rinformation that could be sent to the parents such as, what we are using the video for.
After that was setteled the meeting ended and we stopped the recording and went home.

Interaction- final idea (proposal)
The overall idea is to create a video piece that will raise awareness of a new play area in Keighley. We would like to raise awareness of road safety issues in an area of Keighley. Our group, thumbs up productions are going to co-organise a workshop with a local community centre called Hainworth Wood Community Centre. There are concerns in the neighbourhood that drivers are are taking no notice of roadside signs and this would leave the children in the area in constant danger of being hit by a careless driver. In the workshops we would have the children creating posters and drawings to get across their view on road safety.
The genre of the video piece will be a Children and Family-Orientated film. Also the purpose of our final idea is to raise awareness to local families about the local play area and we also want to teach the children about respecting the play area. We also want to advertise Hainworth Wood Community Centre and also improve their website as well.
The target audience of our group's project is local parents and also children around the ages of 7 to 10. We also want to target the unemployed to show them the benefits of working in the local community. As a group we have conducted alot of research. So far, I have looked at different news articles from a local newspaper called, Keighley news. Also I have looked at diffeerent leaflets and flyers that promote and advertise different community centres and nursing homes. In our first meeting with Angie Stack who is the events organiser at Hainworth Wood Community Centre we discussed with her the different groups of children who go to the community centre and we also discussed the different opening times of the community centre. I am going to conduct more research on the local area of Keighley by looking at local newspapers and looking at different leaflets that I find. I am also going to research ways in which we can communicate with people in the community.
It will be delivered as a 5 minute edited video piece.
