Filming Day 1


The young film makers from Poplar spent an afternoon filming in a council housing estate sharing the same postcode as the financial hub in Canary Wharf.
The session allowed young people, with the help and supervision of Abdul Miah and Momtaz Begum, to understand how to use basic filming equipment such as a DV camera, tripod, lights and radio mics.
Each person got a chance to operate the camera equipment as well as to go in front of the camera and be interviewed. They answered questions such as:
- What images come to mind when they hear someone say Canary Wharf
- What they feel like when visiting or shopping in Canary Wharf
- Whether they could see themselves working in Canary Wharf
- Whether they felt it was important to forge links with their neighbours in Canary Wharf
- What would they say if they could spend a minute with someone from Canary Wharf
