Abstract

[This chapter reflects upon the use of visual methods longitudinally, as a record of change, experience, and past perception, in focus groups. We used focus groups as the central activity for half-day workshops with secondary school children aged 12 to 13 years, as part of The ORiEL study of regeneration in East London. Initial discussions on a range of themes were filmed by both the focus group participants and facilitators using hand-held mini-camcorders. The footage was deployed as an empirical point of reflection, as participants were invited to update, expand upon, or contradict their initial narratives. Focus groups, rather than individual interviews, were used to generate data in a social setting where interaction between participants revealed group norms and facilitated reflections on multiple accounts. Using visual media to record and revisit past opinions provided a vivid way of eliciting discussions about change.]
