Vox Pops are interviews done in public places, and they are formatted in a way that presents the public giving a spontaneous opinion, in which they have been randomly selected from a crowded people.
They are often used in the news, to present a representation of the public's opinion. Usually this will show 'balance', so that varying opinions are heard from equally.
Each person is asked the same question/set of questions, and the aim is to get a wide number of opinions.
The journalists are instructed to approach a variety of people, to make sure each background is represented as equally as possible.
Here is an example of a Vox Pops
We will be making our own Vox Pops. Stay tuned for the final results.
The task, however, will be staged.
Our questions will consist of:
- Do you watch music videos?
- What is your favourite music video?
- What do you like about music videos?
- What makes a great music video?
- Where do you watch music videos?
We are aiming to have our interviewer look at the camera as they are saying the questions, and then have our interviewees looking away from the camera (towards the interviewer, at an angle).
