 Interview 1- Nina Vental
Our first interview starts at 39 seconds. It follows a
lengthy introduction to our documentary which ends
explaining how were going to speak to the people
who selflessly offer their time and support to those in
need, like Nina Vental, who operates a food bank
Nina was an important part of the foodbank footage as
located in Hersham
she was the only paid employee. We felt it was
appropriate to ask her some facts and figures about the
food bank as this is the side shes more involved in. It
enabled us to gain a perspective on what situations
individuals are in to approach the food bank and where
they get their main bulk of donations from. The formality
is reflected by the location of the shot and the type of
mid-shot we used. We weren't able to include all footage
of Nina however she gave us pathways to research and
more knowledge into the topic were exposing in our
 Interview 2- Jane Coggins
Janes interview starts at 2 minutes 32 seconds.
As a group we felt it was also important to gain a
less formal interview from an individual at the
food bank. As our previous interview, Nina, was a
paid employee we were interested in interviewing
a volunteer. Jane, as shown to the right, was
perfect. We spoke to her about the reason why
she gives up her time and what encouraged her to
do it. The setting amongst the warehouse was a
key feature to the interview. As we were asking
her more light hearted questions the background
needed to represent that. Jane gave us an easy
transition between Hersham into greater London
as the interview concluded our findings at the
 Interview 3- Tony Parkins
Tonys interview plays at 3 minutes 10 seconds. This
interview follows a montage sequence of London and a
voice over explaining: . The amount of homelessness in
London has doubled over the past five years.
Redundancy, poor mental health, domestic abuse, and
substance addiction are just some of the things that
cause homelessness. We asked two Londoners their
opinions on the topic. Tony gave a very empathetic
interview showing his sympathy for the homeless. We
found out he lives near central London which was an
essential piece of information for the interview. We felt
the best way to find out the conflicting attitude society
has on homelessness was to ask the locals. He gave a
new perspective by explaining his perception on the
issue and how he feels some homeless people dont feel
 Interview 4- Rupert Simons
Ruperts footage is the ending interview in our project.
It begins shortly after Tonys as the two swap in
between each other to show the two conflicting
opinions. He gave us a new dimension to our project by
showing slight hostility towards homelessness being on
his doorstep. What wasnt featured in our edited
footage was him explaining how he has previously
approached homeless individuals and explained various
help they can contact eg the Pret a manger schemes.
The aspect of age also plays into the two interviews.
Tony is an older gentlemen and shows a softer mindset
towards the issue however the younger interviewee,
shows a more negative perspective towards the
homeless population. It enabled us to represent the
majority of society as most of the viewers watching our
documentary opening will be able to relate to some
