6 How are we going to work as a team?
facilitating sharing - with each other and with local people helping each other - technically - and critically.
What kinds of ground rules will we need to establish for teamwork to takeplace. (we need to think about this over the next two days so that we canwork on it together before we go to the field).
Activity: Brainstorm a list of the qualities that the group thinks willbe important for good team work at this stage.

8 Using video to record a story: 'Who are we?'
Activity: There are three phases in this activity; each pair repeats
each phase, taking it in turns to facilitate the other.
i. A drawing is made of each persons life story. One person is thefacilitator, and facilitates the other to make the drawing.
ii. The story is then retold, either by the person themselves or by theirpartner\facilitator, using the drawing to help their memories, and thestories are filmed.
iii. The stories are then played back and we will discuss how people feelabout their own stories on film.
End of day l. Evaluation: Handout - sheet, no name, ask each person to listthree things they have learnt during the day and three things they would like toknow more about.

3 THE FIELDWORK TRAINING
Stage 1. Introducing ourselves to the community. It is important that the
community understand their role as researchers and as producers of the video
messages. It is important, as well, that they understand that the team is thereto learn about and facilitate them to research their own needs.
Stage 2. Participant observation. This is a process that allows village people
to show the team their village and their lives, for the team to learn, and forboth groups to get to know each other.
Stage 3. Recording and reviewing with local participants.Recording interviews and participatory exercises with participants. This willinvolve designing a sequence of participatory activities and discussions thatwill be filmed and shown back to participants the following day.
After each filming session, the team makes a shorter edited version of thedays work; (taking out wobbly shots and repetitions and offering some roughstructure) that will enable community participants to see clearly what has beensaid. The review (or showback) process in the community is an opportunityfor participants to re-discuss issues and to comment on what others havesaid. It also allows the team to see which activities have worked, which haveworked less well, and to plan ahead.
The rough edit will be shown first to the participants who appear in thoseparticular tapes, and the participants will then show back their work to thewider community for their comments and discussion. (see page for moretechnical details)
Stage 4. The formation of a local editorial group, the participatory analysis of
problems and solutions, and the drawing up of an Action Plan and aCommunication Plan
Once the participating groups have researched and recorded their viewsabout needs and problems, they will be asked select an editorial group from
amongst their number. A poverty analysis or wealth ranking can be used tohelp them select a widely representative group. This group will work withvillage participants to draw together the findings in the form of- problems- causes- solutionsThe local editorial team works with local participants to cross-check thesefindings and then use this information with local people to draw up an ActionPlan listing problems, causes and solution. From the Action plan, they will beinvited to draw up a Communication plan. This plan will aim to define whichproblems, causes and solutions need to be communicated to which audience
(the audiences may be other people in their community, local government,AA-SL, or others).

Stage 5. Checking with local participants and filming additional material.
The team works with the village editorial group to film any additionalinformation needed for a specific chosen audience, and any linking materialthat will be need to make a video tape with which to communicate the findings
of the community research.
Stage 6. Using a rough edit to agree a final script for a film to communicatethe findings. The team works with the editorial team to make a rough edit andthis is shown to the community for checking.
Stage 7. Final editing and translations:
The team takes the agreed material and the agreed script and makes a finaledited version with translations.
Stage 8. Local participants use the tape with their selected audience
The local participants review the tape and run a workshop at which they showtheir findings to the selected audiences.

4 OVERVIEW OF ACTIONAID ACTIONAID SIERRA LEONEINPUT INTO THE RESEARCH PROCESS
Maintaining Records and Documentation
A very important aspect of this Dfid funded action research is the maintenanceof records of the process, so that others can learn from what takes place overthe next three years, and so that we can deal with problems as they arise.
There are three aspects to record keeping that we need to consider:
1. Field reports2. Documentation and transcription of tapes3. Translation of tapes
This paper will look at these three aspects of record keeping.
1. Field reports
It is important that there are records kept of the process of this research,because these will make it possible to share your experience both with theResearch Manager: Su Braden, with each other, and your team leader.
field workers notes
Each fieldworker should keep a notebook in which they enter a brief note
immediately after each field visit. There are different methods of notingwhat happens on each visit, but one quick way is to give your self a checklist of headings such as:
i. Date of visitii. Aim of visitiii. People seeniv. Main issues discussed or activities undertakenv. Out comesvi. Difficultiesvii. Learning points
reviewing and sharing
Each week the team meets with team leader who reads the field notebook,discusses the work with the team members and makes a summary of mainpoints in the team leaders notebook:
i. Number of visits undertaken by team membersii. People seeniii. Main issues discussed and activities undertakeniv. Principal difficulties experienced by the teamv. Learning points.

regular contact with the research manager to enable updating andsupport
Each month the team leader sends the Research Manager the weeklysummaries
Each month the Research Manager replies with comments andsuggestions or plans to visit, if there are difficulties with which the teamneeds help.

2 Documentation and transcription of tapes
Labelling and listing tapes in the field.
When the team goes to the field to film it is important that one member takescharge of tapes. The tapes used for filming are the small (Mini DV cassette)
tapes. You will usually need to take three or four of these to thefield, for each days filming. These are your camera tapes.They should be labelled in advance of use with:v the project name: for example > Village A baseline tape 3. mens village map and discussion

v Log the contents of each master tape, by playing it back.You will see a series of eight zeros at the bottom of thescreen these numbers are known as the time code. Thetime code gives us a way of finding a precise place on thetape. Starting from the right, the first two zeros represent the
frame: in tape time there are 24 frames to one second. Thenext two zeros from the left represent seconds, thenext pairof zeros represent minutes and the last pair of zeros on theleft represent hours.

Please remember that these logging sheets will be used by the wholeteam and the Research Manager over the whole of the next three
years, so that they should be kept neatly in a folder.
3 Translation of tapes
At the end of each piece of work in which a participating community group hasused an edited video tape to show to a chosen audience, it will be necessaryto translate the final tape into English. Sometimes we may need to record thetranslation onto the tape. But, for the research findings in year three, we willalso need the English versions so that we can make a compilation programmeshowing the processes of the work undertaken.

Please be sure that English translations are made at the end of each piece ofwork with a participating community, (ie., at the end of Stage 8 above) andthat these translations are filed with the log sheets.

EDITING TAPES
We will develop our own editing manual together, in the meantime copies ofthe technical manuals will be available in the edit room.
MAKING BLACK AND BURST TAPES
1. connect the S-Video cable, one end of which is already connected tothe back of the record machine, to the S-video input on the camera.
2. put a new (clean) edit tape into the record machine and switch themachine to local.
3. Do not putatape into the camera the camera signal alone producesthe control track
