I tried my luck vox-popping again today at Belconnen shopping centre. This time I didn't last long because I felt I had enough material. It went alot of the same way as yesterday, although people were generally a bit more relaxed, which I judged was due to it being on a Sunday afternoon.
I thought I would write on how I prepared to use my Eprioll. I started by re-reading the help sheets we were given in class and made sure all my settings were correct, that the batteries are working fine, and making sure I set up the microphone to ensure the best possible atmosphere.
I practiced by conducting an interview with my friend three times, and then I played it back. I'm glad I did this as the first time I completely stuffed up the recording - pressing the hold button instead of the off button and then completely forgetting to press record two times.
I found the Epiroll quite easy to use, and afterwards I just downloaded all the audio files onto my computer and listened to it. The background noise was a slight problem as I had conducted all my vox pops on the outside of a shopping centre, but I guess this is to be expected.
