I
just don't think it'll be the same going down there, there'll be a
lot of sad faces in here when it actually goes, no just from staff,
from customers as well.
Butcher:
I
mean its a good idea really but I will say again, it's the cost of
the rent, god knows whats going to happen to me at the end of the day
but I just hope and pray I can afford it. Our committee are fighting
for us, they're doing a good job for us, we're all sticking together,
we're all in it together at the end of the day we've all got young
families, it's all our livelihood and we've got to look after each
other at the end of the day and lets hope city council look after us.
NICK:
ts
going to cost a lot of money to move so I'm not sort of looking
forward to finding the finances for that. We'll see how its goes rem
yeah going to be the last christmas here.
So
hopefully with the new building its a new start and we have to adapt
as well to modern shopping trends people like to sort of shop all the
time now so we just have to adapt to that
I
mean the regeneration of the whole area stands to be good thing, but
lets see how its goes, change is good. I mean its fifty years old how
long can it last, you have to change at some point and you know you
will get people sort of not happy with it but i suppose the younger
generation they want the move
Jeff:
Theres
uncertainty over the future of the market weather its going to stay
here or move and no investment done its well run down.
At
the moment i am uncertain wether I'm going to go in or not, with me i
have a reduced rent on the bottom floor because its so run down.
Are
you orate there love?
STRUCTURE:
(Michelle)Hi
my names michelle, I've worked for Pickles for 19 years. I first
started off in the sheaf market and got promoted to manageress. I've
got a little 9 year old girl which i just packed in work for a year
to have her then came back to work. Unfortunately when this market
does open down at the moor, if we've not been managed to sold to
another person we will loose our jobs and be made redundant. So when
it does happen we'll either have a job if someone does buy us or
we'll be made redundant and have to go and sign on basically.
(Michelle)Since
me being a child, there was the sheaf market, this market and the
setts market and i can remember all them, and now its just down to
this one market here. And I think personally they should have just
had the money and re-vamped this market and made it a lot, lot
better, rather than move it, so…. From me being a little child, I
can remember coming in here with my mum, and going to cockles stall,
and having a plate of cockles every saturday morning with my mum. I
'suppose it's just what you get used to really, i suppose if it'd
been down there originally you'd think nothing of it.
(Robert)Yes,
I'm Robert Wain and i've been here, trading in the market for 13
years on my own, I've been in the market all together 36 years and
about this new market I'm hoping to go down in the next 18 months. As
it is we've got to move the market to a modern place, its been here
forever really, I can't understand why they can't do this up. By all
accounts there going to make that the new town centre down there so
everything's going to be diverted down t'new market. We're hoping we
can afford to go down 'cause the prices what we're paying now are
going to quadruple, we we hope we can afford it y'know.
(Jeff)I
enjoy working where i do i enjoy meeting people. I don't make a lot
of money now, but what would i be doing if i weren't doing this, i
would probably be sat at home watching daytime television. Yeah i get
a little bit extra that allows me to have a holiday and run a car, i
don't know what i would be doing to be quite honest, i would pack it
in or look for another place to trade. I just don't know. What
all the traders and the customers wanted, they wanted to stay here
where they all no with the trammies, where the busses are. They
wanted to stay here and have this place revamped, they could spend
seven million on this place and provide us with a car park, and put a
life on it for the next twenty to thirty years people would come into
the market and people would take the shops outside but for whatever
reason the council do not want to do that. They want to take it down
the moor they think that people are deserting them so wether its
going to be a good thing or a bad thing only time will tell.
(Jeff)For
the last sixteen year the council has been promising us a new market
and its just not happened we've been hanging on and hanging on . Its
happening now but wether its too late i don't know, whether we've
lost these customers and we cannot get them back.
(Nick)The
buildings very very old, castle market, to stay here its going to
cost apparently ten million pounds just to do all the invisible
repairs that wouldn't actually start attracting people in.
(Nick)I've
got mixed feelings about it really I'm glad of the opportunity to
invest in a new premises, I'm quite sad because you get quite
attached to a building not so much the building but the people inside
it, its like its own mini community really sort of like a microcosm
of the world outside, you see all different types of people mixing
together, but very soon its all going to end we're going to say
goodbye to this building and we're going to be moving into a new
one.
(Robert)Sorry
'bout that, and like I say, i hope and pray it takes off cause it's
my livelihood at the end of the day. Councillors are here like
everyday, day in day out, they've got a job, it's our livelihood,
we've got to go down there and make a living, y'know what I mean? An
with these prices what they're going to charge us for rent I feel
that I'm going to be struggling a little bit, you know what I mean?
But at the end of the day, as i say, its my livelihood, I've got to
go there, I've got to give it a go. I've got a young family and
that's it at the end of the day, I've got you y'know, go for it.
(Jeff)
I've enjoyed my time here, we've had good times when its been really
really busy. Its like anything shopping habits change and with over
the years introducing of these pound shops and online shopping and
more and more supermarkets coming into the area, Its er peoples
shopping changed.
(Nick)Im
happy to be moving because over a period of years we've just seen
trade drop and drop and drop and we're not exciting to young people
anymore, we've got our old customers and hopefully we can take them
in to the new place with us but we've got to make ourselves ore
modern, to attract the way people shop nowadays.
(Michelle)We
do get a lot of the same customers and we've made friends with them
and they tell us all their little problems and we're there to listen
to them and to chat to them and they keep asking us, "are you
moving down to the other market" and we have to keep saying no
and they're quite sad really cause they keep saying "where will
we get our same meats from?" Because they do get used to going
to one stall and you get used to seeming them as well and you do make
quite good friends, working behind a counter actually.
(Nick)
I mean if we move to the new place we've got to be able to keep our
prices low because thats what attracts people here, we can do things
very very cheaply and hopefully soon enough we're going to find out
what the rents will be
(Jeff)People
they come here and meet they come and have a coffee and meet their
friends, the idea of the market is they come here for a bargain!
They're looking for that personal service and suddenly if your rent
double or triple in some cases can you still offer that bargain that
very very good price because at the end of the day you've got to pay
all your rent and bills and your taxes. We're going to be paying
three times as much rent for a lot less stall size so wether that can
work or i don't know.
(Nick)
Hopefully we can take the people with us that shop here over to the
moor and attract more people as well, so you know I'm hoping that its
going to improve rather than decrease the numbers that we've got. I
mean Sheffield's town centre is like a centre of two halves really at
the moment we're at the wrong end you know we've got to move to the
other end and hopefully improve…I certainly hope so. I mean the
regeneration of the whole area stands to be good thing, but lets see
how its goes, change is good. I mean its fifty years old how long can
it last, you have to change at some point and you know you will get
people sort of not happy with it but i suppose the younger generation
they want the move
(Robert)
I mean its a good idea really but I will say again, it's the cost of
the rent, god knows whats going to happen to me at the end of the day
but I just hope and pray I can afford it. Our committee are fighting
for us, they're doing a good job for us, we're all sticking together,
we're all in it together at the end of the day we've all got young
families, it's all our livelihood and we've got to look after each
other at the end of the day and lets hope city council look after us.
(Jeff)Been
here twenty five year, bought this business and what they're offering
me is a, is , is a joke, but what can i do, what can i do about it
they're pulling the business down. I cant sell it and they're not
even offering me a fraction of what i paid for it.
(Michelle)I
just don't think it'll be the same going down there, there'll be a
lot of sad faces in here when it actually goes, no just from staff,
from customers as well.
Today we typed up a transcript from all the interview footage we felt was relevant, we believe this would aid us in planning the documentaries overall structure as we were able to see the points the contributors mentioned. Using a text editing program we were able to rearrange the structure quickly, utilising this process with a word processing program we could clearly see what each point raised contained rather than having to listen to each clip on final cut. This also allowed us to cut certain sentences together and arrange dialogue without having to render etc, the frequent reading/ typing of each sentence caused us to inadvertently remember what the contributors had said speeding up the process further.
Once we had established an order we felt worked we saved the document to refer to once we begin to cut the footage together in 'Final Cut Pro'. Each of the contributors express emotion at some point in their interviews, we felt these statements would be work towards the end of the piece to leave an impact on the viewer. Once each of the contributors had introduced themselves we fell that their voice would be remembered so that we wouldn't have to cut back to a vox pop each time they reappear, subsequently we didn't see the need for each speaker to state their full name we understand that text would be better to indicate their profession helping the overall flow become much more lucid.
