This photograph was taken while gathering our voxpops. We took in turn each member of the group filimg using the microphone asking the question and taking the picture. However the voxpop itself was unable to be used in our documentary as we put ourselves in the shot, which is not a documentary convention.
Here is an example of this error as we were holding the microphone while asking the question, meaning that we were in shot and as we produced the documentary we should not be in it.
These imgages are still relevant as it is proof of our voxpops being filmed by ourselves however, we had to re-film the voxpops.
We tried to gather an audience to answer our voxpops that suited te target audience. The equipment being used here is the microphone.
The equipment being used here is the camera, and tripod. We found that we had to move the tripod to different levels to suit the height of the interviewee.
The microphone was able to stretch to a distance far away enough for a good mise-en-scene.
Although this shot shows a design shop behind the people in the mise-en-scene as it is on an angle, the actual shop behind the interview is a shoe shop.
We always had to check the angle and position of the camera and tripod before recording.
We discussed how the gentleman would answer the question before we did so.
Taking in turns using the camera so that we all had an experience of each piece of equipment and asking for someone to anwer a question.
On some of the voxpops we thought it would be interesting to interview two members of the public to get a mixture of results, and we thought it may introduce humour and debate with two friends answering.
We tried to ask ladies of all ages and whom where wearing heels that day so that th answers would differentiate.
We tested out he mise-en-scene and sound before recording so that it was suitable.
This image is of a cut away for the documentary shop assistant interview, this cutaway was used in our documentary, and even in our opening sequence a shoe was taken.
We found tha hand holding the camera helped with certain shops, this panning shot up and down was effective as there are different styled heels/boots.
We played back the cutaways before we left the shop to ensure that the shot was suitable and didnt need to be re-filmed.
We still took in turns filming for the cutaway, and tried to get as many differnt styled heels as possible.
This is a shot of an interview we produced in an older womens heel store, as we gathered a wide range of answers from all areas of our target audience. However the interview was not able to use, as the interviewee moved around too much as this effected the mise-en-scene and the codes and conventions of an interview, that the interviewee should stand to the left or right of the screen talking to an interviewer on the opposite side (talking into the space.)
This image was taken in the chiropodist's office/surgery. The interview was suitable for the documentary and is used within our documentary. However more cutaways could have been taken of the equipment he used.
