We decided for the feature that we would do 2 interviews. One with the owner of the Crompton Coffee and another interview with the Stand-up Cafe owner. Another part of our piece was to include vox-pops. The voxpops were going to be the creative fun part. We hoped we’d get people on the street talking about toast and be able to cut it all in together and make it fun and amusing.
We went on the streets in the CBD and got plenty of vox-pops. I decided to keep walking and try and organise an interview with the owner of the stand up cafe. I left Linh and Georgia near RMIT and went and got some more vox-pops. I started talking to the guy at the stand-up cafe and we decided to do the interview on the spot. He was really nice and easy to talk to so considering I had no questions prepared he said I could come back if I wanted to ask him anything else. So I did the interview on the fly, just asking whatever came to mind. I was quite happy with the interview as a whole and didn’t need to go back.
Linh and Georgia said they’d organise the interview with Crompton Coffee while I cut together my interview with David from the Stand-up cafe and worked on the compilation of vox-pops.
I worked really hard on the vox-pops getting them to sound funny and amusing. Since we had so many of them. After cutting out us asking all the questions we still had about 45 minutes worth of vox-pops. It took me a while but I made a track of vox-pops that I was really happy with. It was just over 1 minute in total which I figured was perfect as it captured the fun of the vox-pops but not take up too much time in the feature.
