Sound Production
In my
group (Saffron, Moses and myself), we had to plan a Vox Pop, where we present a
range of public opinion on a topic that is commonly spoken about. The interview
is mostly a street interview where we go ask the public what their views on the
topics we had chosen to ask the public about. Our group had come up with 5
different questions for 5 different topics, our group had chosen our topics had
been Instagram, Make-Up, Sexuality and Size and animation. Since people don’t
always agree and disagree with these issues and we wanted to hear people’s
opinion. We had asked a range of different people, we tried to no target the
people who we had known very well because the responses would seem bias.
However, we had used them as well as asking unknown people we had known even
though they’re answers may not be as useful if it wasn’t coming from someone we
had known. We were going to use an audio recording kit before recording it with
a camera.
Having a
vox pop was useful because it helps increase confidence; this helps develop
people’s build proficiency in image recording. Also, develop skills in sound
recording and create different interview techniques in street interviewing
situations.
The
equipment our group we will be using is a video camera mostly a digital camera
that SD- card is available for use. Microphones, which will mostly, used to
hear the audience response more because their views matter mostly. A headphone
so we can hear the audio while it’s being recorded. We had written the questions
on mobile phones since it would of have been harder to lose and easier to edit
the questions if someone’s response had been offensive, we had intended to make
the questions suitable for anyone to answer.
The
questions that had been made are from a range entertainment, stereotypes and
discriminations. Even though, most of our questions had been created for
entertainment purpose. In the process of recording our group would mostly use
close-up’s of the people who are being questioned and medium close-up’s and
long shots been used to show the interviewer finding people to interview and to
show where our group is. We are mainly looking to use single camera editing, it
will be easier to edit. The interviewer will be seen in the camera so a
shot-reverse-shot will be used or a medium close-up so both faces are seen in
the camera, even though we will angle the camera to play more attention on the
person giving the response. Depending on where we are, we would use a long shot
to show the different places we had gone to interview. Tripod will be used
mostly on a windy day so the recording doesn’t look messy and we have to
re-record the section. Graphics and titling will appear if the response is
funny because we would like our vox pop to be interesting not too serious
because our target audience is mostly aimed for teenagers from the ages of
16-19 because the issues are what we go through in our daily society. We will
make sure the scenery is bright enough mostly during night so there are street
lamps available.
In the
audio when it’s being recording we will try to have the camera in-between the
interviewer and the responders. So the audio can be clear to hear; however on a
windy day the microphone might have to move the camera from person to person so
the audio comes out clear because we will only be using one microphone and the
interviwer will have control of how the camera is held and moved. We will be
trying to avoid background noises as much as possible so we’ll make sure the microphone
is monitor sound. Try to find a microphone that is portable and will cut out
the background noise.
