Day 188 - 15 Nov 95 - Page 08

     
     1   MR. MORRIS:  If any of the copies are hard to read, Anne has
     2        brought the originals.
     3
     4        (To the witness):  If we can just go through those and just
     5        say what they are?
     6        A.  Right.
     7
     8   Q.   The first pages up to there, can you just explain?
     9        A.  Pages 1 to 3 are notes where I would stand in the store
    10        and watch just the process of what is happening.  So those
    11        are my notes that I made during -----
    12
    13   Q.   From observations?
    14        A.  From observation before the filming actually started.
    15
    16   Q.   Right.  Let me just go a bit back a little bit.  In this
    17        six months working as a researcher, can you just explain
    18        the different periods of work that you did actually in the
    19        store?
    20
    MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Would it not be better, as you have embarked
    22        on finding out what the 19 pages are, if you completed that
    23        and then ask questions?  I have put "notes of observations
    24        as I stand in the store".
    25
    26   MR. MORRIS:  For the first three pages.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We had better make sure which store it is.
    29
    30   THE WITNESS:  Pages 1, 2 and 3 refer to both stores, Croydon and
    31        the Strand.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  Are these notes verbatim on one day, or are
    34        these -----
    35        A.  These are notes gathered together when I was trying to
    36        convey to the producer the various visual elements that it
    37        would be possible to film at the store.  So these are
    38        specifically concentrating on the visual elements,
    39        pages 1 to 3.
    40
    Q.   Then Croydon?
    42        A.  So, page 4 is very specifically about identifying the
    43        people that we were likely to be filming and who they were
    44        and what their rates of pay were.
    45
    46   Q.   That is at Croydon?
    47        A.  Yes, page 4 is specifically Croydon, although the stars
    48        refer generally to McDonald's.  Page 5 is specifically the
    49        Strand; and that was, I sat in and watched Michael doing
    50        interviews with people coming for interviews for jobs at 
    51        the Strand store; that is page 5 and 6.  That was 
    52        pre-filming.  Pages 7 ----- 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Pause a moment.
    55        A.  Sorry.  (Pause)  Pages 7 to 12 is a night that I spent
    56        in the Strand, going through from when the Strand shut to
    57        its customers and through the whole process of the night
    58        close and opening up the next morning; that was one night
    59        at the Strand prior to filming.
