Vox Pop



The rules of the Vox Pop are; to have the person you are interviewing on the right hand side of the camera. The person answering the questions should be facing the interviewer so that their gaze is off screen. A banner with the name, age and occupation of the interviewee should appear once on the bottom of the screen. The Vox Pop should have a busy background and should also have the question which has been asked at the start of it.

This is our Vox Pop and we filmed this in school, we asked four people two different questions about thrillers, our questions were; what makes a Thriller, thrilling? and what is your favourite type of thriller genre? When we filmed our Vox Pop we asked all four people to answer both questions, however when we were editing our Vox Pop we noticed that one of the clips of Kezia answering the second question which wasn't filmed very well as it had Elle's finger blocking the camera. Therefore we only had three people answering the last question and if we were to improve we would use a digital camera and a tripod instead of a phone because the sound wasn't very loud and the picture wasn't that good. We made sure that our Vox Pop followed the rules of a Vox Pop, for example we made sure that the interviewee was on the right of the screen and their gaze was off screen, we also made sure that we put a banner of the persons name, age and job on the bottom of the screen which was only shown once.

Question 1 results: What makes a Thriller, thrilling?

Answers to this question:

* music
* suspense
*atmosphere
* music, suspense and narrative

From these results, we have learned that the audience want to see all these things when watching a Thriller genre film. From this data we know what we need to include in our Thriller opening. We will include all these requests from the audience, this will benefit us because audiences will want to keep watching and the audience will see what they want our Thriller to include.

Question 2 results: What is your favourite Thriller genre?

*psychological
*action
*sci-fi

From these results, we have learned that the audience want to see these types of thrillers. From this data we know that we need to choose a sub-genre for our thriller opening that the audience want to see. We will choose one of the types of genre that the audience wanted to see, this will benefit us because it will allow the audience to see what they want in our Thriller.

I have learnt that audiences aged 16-18 like to watch thrillers, this is because they like to see action and all the different types of thriller genre, for example psychological. My findings will influence my thriller because it will give us an idea of what type of thriller genre to use and it will also help us to know what our target audience want to see in thrillers and what we can add in our thriller to make audiences want to keep watching.
