VOX POP - Remembrance Day
TASK
Interview several people in a production time and ask them 7 questions. Audio recorders will be provided in order to complete the task, and groups will be organized into production teams. In a team involving I, Laila and Jessica we asked the following to six individuals:
- What do you think of the significance of Remembrance Day?
- How relevant is the Poppy in today's modern age?
- What is the meaning behind the Poppy?
- Did you wear a Poppy? Why?
- Who were you remembering?
- Did you take part in an event?
- Did you respect the minute?
The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 in commemoration of all military personal who died in war and conflict in both the past and present. Inspiration for the usage of the poppy as a memorabilia symbol was drawn from the World War 1 poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae. The opening lines of the poem make reference to the poppies that grew on the graves of dead soldiers in Flanders, a region in Belgium.
