This week, we attempted to film interviews with the public about their opinions on Lincoln’s divide, however, downhill, nobody allowed us to film their responses to our questionnaire!  This is a setback because, although we have information from the public written down, the footage was important because we were hoping to edit it into our film, to show our performance’s development.

Instead, we took the camera uphill, where we had more success and filmed two interviews.

One was a young man who had lived in Lincoln for many years. He did see a divide between the uphill and downhill areas, especially in terms of architecture. He said this obviously affected house prices, which meant that only rich people could afford to live uphill and poorer people  were forced to live lower down the hill where the houses were cheaper.

The second man was on his first visit to Lincoln yet he could already see a divide. We told him of Lincoln’s historical background and he said he could understand why there had been a divide and could see how this division may still be in place today.

The information we received from the public today is very helpful because the response confirmed our ideas about the city of Lincoln.
