Filming of Elderly

Spending an afternoon filming and interviewing 3 OAPs about their life, technology and age discrimination proved to give excellent feedback. The key things that came out of the interviews as being important are family, and gardening space. Gardening becomes a way to generate food, relax and exercise. A massive thank you has to go to all involved.







The interviewees: Brenda Johnson, Molly Mannering and Bette Pearson
Organiser and interviewer: Natasha Hayes
Lighting: Matt Hill
Film: James Harrison
Sound: Callum Skipworth
