An amateur record showing members of the Newcastle & District Amateur Cinematographers' Association filming sequences for a number of their productions produced during the early 1950s. Productions featured include the 1951 Gang Show, Flowers for Peter (1952), In Pawn (1950) and PC Grubb’s Last Case (1952). Five member of the Newcastle & District Amateur Cinematographers' Association (ACA) come along Dean Street in Newcastle-upon-Tyne towards the Theatre Royal on Grey Street. Inside the theatre Boy Scout’s perform five short sequences from their annual Gang Show. Inside a dance-hall young people are dancing, an amateur film crew film a couple dancing wildly. The film director gives instructions to a young couple sitting against a wall before heading back behind the camera, the couple begin to kiss. Along the Ouseburn riverbank a crew film several men come down to the quayside and head out on a boat into the River Tyne. A man carrying the camera on a tripod speaks with a second man while the rest of the crew make their way down to the quayside. Inside a studio several extras sit at tables against a wall, a young woman sits at a table alone. Behind her a camera crew set up a shot. A man dressed as an ‘exotic’ violin player comes over and stands beside the young woman at the table. Three cars are parked near to a quayside, members of a film crew make their way to the set. A clock tower changes to show the crew setting up a shot along a dockside where several ships are moored. A man dressed as a policeman flicks through his notebook. Members of the film crew, including George Cummin, each carrying a piece of equipment walk past possibly a real policeman standing beside a woman who points them in a certain direction. The film ends on a young man looking suspicious.
