Menspace Laura, Jenny, Kit and Pierce
What is Menspace?• Health For All – specifically Menspace works to assist
people in particular communities of interest to overcome barriers to participate and access to services.
• Menspace engages men and boys in a variety of positive activities in addition to dads groups including horticulture, organising community festivals, growing vegetables in the allotment and fishing. It’s a project which helps men lead healthier, more fulfilled lives and encourages them to get out into the community and make a difference.
• It gives the dads an opportunity to take their children to fun activities without worrying about cost.
• It’s also partnered with ‘The Bridge’ (a group which organises walks with participants with learning disabilities).
Things to consider/potential problems
• Filming- are the men happy for us to film? How can we help make it a relaxed environment? Maybe we need to meet them without equipment to build a more genuine relationship?
• How are we going to film the walk- walking with a camera will be shaky so we need to think of an alternative, possibly getting ahead of the group and setting up the camera on a tri-pod?
• What is the most relevant information to put in the 3 minute edit. Do we need to create 2 versions?
• We need to consider our audience when conversing with people to ensure we don’t offend anyone
Our aims:
• Our group wants to focus on the dads group, which includes the dads cooking club and walking group.
• We want to spend time with the groups before filming so we can get to know them and so they are comfortable in our presence while filming.
• Our film is designed to capture a feel of the groups, possibly with a few short interviews with some of the members in order to promote the Menspace project.
