Money Vox : Task 2

The diplodocus, nicknamed Misty, has been sold at auction for £400,000. Speaking before the sale, auctioneer James Rylands said: "We will be sorry to see her go - the downside of being an auctioneer is that once you've sold something you very seldom get to see it again.

This got us thinking about how much money we have spent on something we never use. Therefore thought it would be a good idea to find out the most amount of money someone has spent on something they've never used.

Cut: Money Vox
DUR: 39 seconds
Out: wasted money

You often find yourself buying something for a fair amount of money and then never returning it even though you don't use it. 











The target audience is 18-25, quite young because the stories are quick and simple with easy detail.

Audio is used in news bulletins to give the audience a better understanding of the news as it can be a  lot easier to keep up with the news whilst hearing the audio at the same time.

I chose to do a vox on the topic of spending money because it's around christmas time and also many people can relate to a question about wasting money. Everyone has bought something which they regret at some point. It's also a very easy question to ask and answer, therefore we had a very good variety of answers to choose from and edit.

Nothing was particularly hard about recording the vox, other than finding a quiet place to record.

When it came round to producing the voice piece, I didn't have a lot of trouble editing the vox's and putting them together. Audit is a very good software to use and has all the tools needed to make it an easy, quick process.

To follow the conventions of news, I made the question short and simple so that the audience would stay interested. The audio is also cut straight to the point, which I succeed doing with the editing.

I think that the final outcome of this piece of work was fairly good. I have a good selection of people that had answered the question and given a variety of answers. If I were to do it again, I would find a quiet place to record so that the audio is much clearer and possibly add a quiet backing track to make it more professional and not as boring.
