Cars...

Hi,
Today, we will have our first activity on audio analysis. My grandfather told me one day; if you want to know how to write, read a lot and if you want to be a good speaker, listen a lot...
So, we are going to listen to two of the chosen videos about Cars... They are different in features, length, and also Nat. sound....
Let's have our first audio analysis about Low in Supply, Used Cars Costing Drivers More.
In our analysis, we will answer certain questions that are suggested by Dr. Kimberly Fox, the American University in Cairo lecturer professor.

The preliminary information, that you should pay attention to for any feature, is:
1. Title of the Feature: "Low in Supply, Used Cars Costing Drivers More"
2. Who produced the feature: "Chris Arnold"
3. Length of the feature: "3 min 34 sec"
4. The Link to the feature:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129781218

Then, we will look at the Production Quality:
1. Description of the feature: The feature is talking about the reason of the rising prices of used cars by the change of the economy, it's all about supply and demand.
What catch the listeners attention is the more than one interviewee who answers the announcer's questions about used cars and how the economy affected the price of their cars now. The announcer is making his interviewees answer his questions briefly.
Also the announcer is trying to give solutions for who wants to buy used cars like searching the internet so his last announcement was of the women voice about going on NPR.org....
2. Quality of the Sound/ use of nat sound: Sound is almost clear and the nat. sound of cars traffic makes the listeners attracted to the info. presented.
While asking questions the nat sounds give you the sense that they are outsider and in between the cars dealers.
3. Quality of the announcer's voice: Its very clear and the pattern of his voice is attainable for the listeners.
4. Length of the feature: Its not that long or short, 3 mins. and half are very suitable for a piece of info. to be clear with interviewing different views like fathers who are under budget wise, nurse practitioner, and dealers.
5. Other Comments: .... Left for you, waiting to hear from you :)

Wait for the second audio analysis...
