Community testing - Why I joined the team at the Transport Museum - Video and audio transcripts

Opens with a screen that says: ‘Recently, we visited the community testing facility at the Transport Museum to ask the staff why they decided to join the team at the facility.

Screen then slides away and is replaced with ‘Here’s what they had to say!’

During this time footage of various people is played. There is no sound at this point bar some light music that plays throughout.

The video then transitions into the first person, a man, being interviewed. Light music continues to play but at a diminished level. The man then says “I chose to join the team here because I wanted to help out. I’m a student and I wanted to use my spare time to do something good.”

The video then transitions into the second person, a man, being interviewed. He says, “Well the reason I particularly wanted to join the team was that as a frontline worker back home, I am a medical doctor back home and I would’ve been on the frontline anyway back home. So that’s why I decided to take up the job here. To be at the frontline. You know helping to save lives during the Coronavirus pandemic”

The video then transitions into a third person, a woman, being interviewed. She says, “ When I was offered the job, I was actually really excited to be part of a team helping to keep the city that I live in, the city of Coventry, the residents safer and I’m very proud because it’s also a memory for me for the rest of my life. As this has affected the whole world.”

The video then transitions into a fourth person, a woman, being interviewed. She says, “I wanted to join the team here to provide the lateral flow service to a wider community. To enable businesses, education and the general public to be able to have some sort of normality.”

The video then transitions into a fifth person, a man, being interviewed. He says, “ To feel like I was helping out with something important in this current climate where I think everything’s not normal and I feel like with helping out with this project, I’m helping things get back to normal.”

The video then transitions into a sixth person, a woman, being interviewed. She says, “I was lucky at first to be staying at home and staying safe but my partner unfortunately wasn’t, so I saw how scary it was out there and decided I wanted to make a difference.”

The video then transitions into a seventh person, a woman, being interviewed. She says, “I volunteered because I wanted to make a difference and play my part in the fight against Covid.
