Vox Pops

Once we had created the questionnaires we decided to ask many people to answer a few questions, these questions were to get more detail on our topics of concern because we thought the questionnaires got into a wider aspect on what we wanted to find out so we made a few questions along the same lines the investigate more into detail on what we wanted to know more about and this was important as we are trying to find out as much as we can before startng the production of our music video so that we are creating something more specific to go by the theorys made by people and to follow the codes and conventions of the rock genre by see also what people know and think about this particular genre.
 Another reason we looked into taking this into consideration as a part of our research is because it was much better to be able to collect more personal opinions and what people thought about the rock genre in their own way. As a group we wanted to find out what people emotionally felt about the genre and it was important to see them portray their feelings on camera about what they thought about the rock genre and we beleived this will allow us to input their opinions with more energy into the final product we are going to produce making sure to obey by the conventions that will go best  with this genre itself.

During the filming process we used our camcorder to film several people from the population of our school and to ask them questions based on what we wanted to find out. It was a very good process in taking out a practical task such as getting out and doing some of our own filming physically. While filming we were carrying out simple procedures making sure lighting was correct, positioning of our surveyor and even making sure we filmed only the useful footage. 

It is very good carrying out these preliminary tasks as it gives us some starters to be re using our technical skills to make sure we are doing the filming how it needs to be done. This task will be very useful in helping us plan our music video because during the process of having the camera and thinking about how we are going to interview people we were making sure we set it all out so the we could have every one in their place and film it as we needed. It will mainly assist us by getting into motion of being on set and its helpful to be ready to film a readily planned set.
