Vox Pop Tips
1. Smile, people won't stop if you don't look welcoming
2. Learn to take rejection, they might not be comfortable
3. Listen to them, you can pick up interesting facts
4. Ask open questions, e.g. what, why, who?
5. Speak to a variety of people
Interview Second Take
When I went up to people, I tried to smile and have a cheery voice to seem approachable and friendly.
I didn't get rejected luckily, but if I did I was ready to tell them that it was ok and to not worry.
I listened and tried to let them talk for as long as they wanted. If they seemed to be struggling, I'd help them by asking another question or adding on to what they were saying.
All my questions started with what, how or would. I did this so that whoever I asked couldn't reply with a quick simple yes or no. It meant they would have to try and answer more diversely.
When finding people to interview, I didn't cancel anyone out, and I would occasionally try to find someone of the other gender each interview to keep it diverse
How I made my Podcast
To start off with, I wrote and made checklists and timetables so I could keep track of the work I was finishing and what had to be finished. I also made tables to show all the files I used. Before I recorded my vox pops, I made a plan on how I would talk and what questions I would ask. I went out into the public and asked my friends if they could be interviewees. Most people agreed and answered my questions fully. I made sure my questions were open questions so my interviewees couldn't just answer with yes or no. I always stayed positive and prepared to be turned down. For my interview, I got my guest Joey on for the whole podcast. I asked him questions throughout and answered really well. I wrote a script for my podcast and followed it almost to full but I would occasionally improvise if I thought it would sound better. To record, I used my own USB Microphone. It's got a decent quality and automatically cuts out background noise. I used headphones as well to double the chance of there being no feedback. The quality of the headphones is also good so I could hear my guests as well as possible. I found free sound effects and copyright free music from youtube. After downloading the audio files, I put them in a file with a good file name so I could easily find them. I also wrote their names on an audio asset list. When it came to editing my sound clips, I used Adobe Audition. It's a great application where you can change the volume of clips, but different audio files together and cut out bits I don't need, (Like if I stutter). I edited in my interviews, intro and outro music. I also used Audition to distort and change the audio effect. Making it more interesting for the listener. Once I finished it, I exported it as a mp3 file and I've now uploaded it to SoundCloud
