Constructing Our Vox Pop

To construct our Vox pop we decided to have a presenter ask questions, followed by the responses of the questions we would later record.
To record the presenter asking the questions we attached the camera to the tri-pod to get the camera at the right height, and to keep the camera steady so clear, steady shots can be made. We then had our presenter practice off camera to make sure when recording she knew exactly what she was to do, and what was required. We then recorded her introducing what she was doing and then stopped. We did this several times so we had several versions to use encase one of the versions had a problem. We then recorded the presenter asking one question, then stopping so we could edit in the responses. We did this several times for each questions as a precaution.
After completing this we then moved into a empty classroom and we managed to get a response from one of the teachers. Before recording we attached the camera to a tri-pod so the shots will be steady and we adjusted the height of the tripod so we had the person in the middle of the screen, making sure parts of her head was not missing as this would look very poor. When the camera was set up correctly we then asked the interviewee the questions and gave her time to think about her responses. When she was ready we then started recording a second before she starting talking so we could edit the piece easier. We repeated this for all three responses from this interviewee and the other as it was the easiest, most accurate and practical way to carry out our task. We also recorded each response twice as a precaution.
When all the recording was complete we then headed into the editing suite and pieced together our vox pop, making sure their was no time gaps between the questions asked, and responses.
