Vox Poppii

Vox Poppii
On Tuesday 24 March 2009 we held our team production meeting in the morning at the Velo Lounge in Bath. After discussing what we needed to do and who was doing what we realized that we still had some time left to continue with other sections of our assignment. Therefore we decided that to make the most of the time leftover we would do some Vox Pops outside to find out what people think about Laser Eye Surgery.

We used Chris’s Handycam to record them, setting the camera up on my tripod to steady it and to ensure we had no camera shake. Naturally we asked the owners of the shops whether they had any objections to us recording outside their premises; we found the shop owners were very interested and very supportive of us and our project. We stood to one side on the pavement so as not to impede any pedestrians who did not want to take part.

We used a sound recorder to capture what was being said and decided that I would clap so that we could sink the footage with the sound at a later date in the production.

We found that everybody we approached were very helpful and polite, even if they declined our offer to take part. Those who did take part were very interested in our project, and all wished us the best of luck with it.
