Like all good Media.....

• Our "Vox pops" will be "staged"
• Everyone needs to prepare to answer the following questions;
• Do you watch a music video?
• What is your favourite music video?
• What makes a great music video?
• Where do you watch Music videos?

After learning about what Vox pops is about in lesson, we then had to carry out a task which was to;

• Record your interviewer asking the questions straight into the camera and giving them a seductive look
• Record your interviewer asking the question at least one person while staring deep into their eyes
• Record at least 5 different people answering random questions. 

When we finish the interviews, we then had to;

• Edit the video
• In the editing process we had to make the vox pops brief and to the point
• Add a title at the beginning of the sequence
• Add captions identifying each participant- only use first names and possible age and occupation
