In the tradition of programmes like the ‘One Show’, ‘Daybreak’ and ‘Inside Out’, group four decided to shoot a vox pop for our second interview. A vox pop is ‘voice of the people’ and captures general opinion on-screen so we decided to capture ‘gut-opinion’ on the Cornish pasty. A thanks to Henry Austwick on providing the idea; very generous and ingenious!
In particular, I think it was a useful exercise for Tim, our camera-man, because he had to adjust the camera to different environments at speed so as not to keep contributors hanging around, additionally, it was an interesting edit because the different environments required a quite bit of colour correction and audio adjustment to give all the clips continuity.
All in all, it was a successful shoot and we filmed some interesting responses. However, collecting enough contributors to fill a minute is very time-consuming and it is hard to second-guess who looks confident enough to speak on camera and who doesn’t.
(Although, everyone is happy to nose at the equipment and ask you what you are doing, most people looked petrified at the very idea of being filmed!)
