My documentary is going to be based around the topic "Have we got life wrong?".
I want to get people to take a second look at the way they are living their lives, who gave people of higher authorities/power the capability to control the way we live, do people believe we are getting the full quality of life under this system and what can be changed?
I wanted to find out the way in which other people value life and what they feel their purpose is, I wanted to find out if the majority of views were similar to mine. In order to gain a taste of some peoples views I decided to conduct a video vox-pop, I started by explaining my thoughts on this issue and then I asked some questions:
1. In your own words define living
2. What are some of your main goals in life?
3. How do you plan to achieve these?
4. Do you believe these are achievable by working a regular 9-5 job?
For question 1 I was expecting simple answers such as "Being alive", "Breathing" etc. However my first interviewee described that to her living was not just being alive, but also about the experiences and the way you spend your time enjoying yourself with friends and family.
The aim of my next few questions was to continue to get my interviewee's to look at life from another perspective, by asking them about their life goals and are these goals realistically achievable in the world we live in.
To improve my Vox-pops I think I would either need to ask more questions or change the questions in order to directly target my topic.
