The final piece should be 2 to 3 minutes. The mix should use elements including the voice of the interviewee, ambient background sound, music, and other sounds as you see fit.
Music: Beware of too much music!
- Use music as an accent or a background.
- Control levels to keep it from competing with voice and mix it down.
- Don't fake it! Use music and SFX to enhance what is there, not to try to instill some emotion that isn't.
Sound Effects: Again, be careful. The best sounds are often the ones you record.

Remember to identify a theme that will make your piece say something special about the world, or the "human condition." A story becomes compelling when it communicates something unique that others can relate to.
If you download an MP3, it's a good idea to convert the file into an AIFF. Here is how you can best accomplish this in Final Cut (handout by Natalie Conn)
