The audial content from this clip summarises the way sound is structured throughout the entire film. The voices of the people being interviewed are taken straight from the the videos, although sometimes this audio is dubbed over other footage to emphasise certain moments of the clip. This means that any background noise from within the setting of the interview; such as the traffic that can be heard from the journalist’s office and the nature sounds in the feminist’s garden, is part of the audio soundscape. In creating a richer atmosphere that provides a comic yet critical relief to the serious content of falsifying information, Broinowski also implements audio FX such as coin chimes and cash registers in allusion to “cashing in” despite lying to the audience, as well as the deconstruction of the Hyatt building and the “sand lady” being blown away. It is highly possible that these FX have been sourced from an external resource, due to its simplistic clarity that may be the result of artificial sound control. Other sounds that may have been recorded separately on filmmaker’s trip to Jordan, include the mosque prayer and the temple chimes, which possess a rather muffled quality that one may have from recording in an open environment.
