'Vox pop' comes from the Latin phrase vox populi,
which means 'voice of the people'. Vox pops are used to provide an overall
viewpoint on a particular subject by randomly selecting people of various ages,
gender, classes and communities so a balanced and fair response is received.
Audience opinion can be obtained in a number of other ways too,
including:
- Polls
- Verbal Feedback
- Interviews
- Reviews
- Questionnaires
- Forums
- Ratings
An effective vox
pop would consist of:
- Short, quick interviews (approximately 30 seconds).
- The camera focused on the interviewee (who would be on the right- more comfortable for the viewer and follows the rule of thirds).
- The interviewee's gaze towards interviewer rather than the camera.
- Passers-by in the background (shot in a public place).
- Name, age and occupation shown when each interviewee first appears.
- Interviewer not heard- only the answers to their
questions.
