All these sound effects were from the BBC Sound Effects Library and the College's own sound effects library.
I needed three different street noises for my Mitzvah Day segment, these three street sounds sounded different enough to make it seem as if events are taking place in different places. However they weren't so different as to confuse the listeners.
After listening to various camera clicks for my Simon Kaye advert, I finally decided on this one as it sounded authentic and it was clear what it was unlike other effects I had listened to.
I used this moderate crowd noise for my community centre news story. It had the right amount of volume that an event like this would have.

News Bulletin3 Rough Draft - David Cohen
News correspondent- Author and avid football fan David Cohen, has met with mayor Boris Johnson to talk about his new campaign called score against antiemetiism which aims to get rid of the racist element in football. he is here today to talk to JFM. Hello David,welcome to JFM.
David- thanks, I'm so happy to be here
News correspondant- what inspired you to start this campaign?
David- well I remember when I was about eleven or twelve I went with my dad to see my first spurs match against arsenal. One of the spurs players tackled an arsenal player who fell over. We were sitting next to the away fans and one stood up and shouted 'dirty yid'. My dad didn't seem Bothered by this remark but I was shocked. Being jewish myself I know that people are prejudiced against us, but I never imagined someone would have the nerve to do this!
News correspondent- but don't you think maybe spurs fans encourage this, I mean, don't they shout the word yid in many of their chants?
David- exactly, and this is what I'm aiming to stop. By using this word many spurs fans are encouraging other people to behave in a prejudice way. we can't expect people to respect us and not use words like that if we do it ourselves. To be honest only around 20% of spurs fans are actually Jewish?
News correspondent- So what are you doing to promote this campaign?
David- well were making our own television advert, the director Jacob levy has expressed an interest in the project so we're very lucky to have him on board. We've got pamphlets and posters around football grounds hopefully making people aware of the campaign.
News correspondent- thanks for joining us David.
