Tattoo Vox pop (dean)



We were asked to go out and record people using hand held microphones, responding to a question of our choice. I asked whether people thought that tattoos and piercing should be more widely accepted in the work place. It was difficult at first to get people to stop and answer, but eventually I found ways to identify an audience that were actually intrigued by my question, by manipulating stereotypes of the way people dress. However I still kept a varied audience, in order to keep my data valid and a representation of the public, as a whole. A majority of the people we asked said that they felt as though tattoos should be accepted in working environments, which without background, makes my compilation seem biased. If I was to re-record the vox pops, I would gather more varied opinions, but I wouldn't change my technique on recording them. Other than one clip, when the wind becomes over-powering for a few seconds, the recordings were satisfactory.

Cue:
As you know/ for years, people with body modifications have been discriminated against/ not by everyone, but by the masses.// We went out to discover what YOU the public, felt about this, and whether it should be considered acceptable in modern working environments, to sport such a, growing popular style.

Back announcement:
From the sample we spoke to, a majority seem confused into why this is still an issue in such a modern age, so why dont you call in and tell us what you think... on / 0800/666/43/21/ that number again is 0800/666/43/21.
