Interaction- the day of filming

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.
