Dirty Job: Taxidermy

 1. How did Mehleena the reporter quickly make it clear she was a participant in the story? 2. Which natural sounds added texture to the story? 3. “That was going to take some pretty gruesome work.” Why was that voiceover used when it was--how did it prepare the viewer? 4. The concept of “reporter-as-surrogate-for-the-viewer” means what? 5. Did the story make you appreciate the preservation of animals, or make you wonder why people do this in the first place? Explain.

1. She made it clear by saying she was going to skin the dear, and used video recording to prove that she had actually done it.
2.A natural sound that added texture to the story was the saw when they were cutting the antlers off of the dears head.
3.It let the views know that there was going to be some pretty disgusting and gross stuff in the story.
4.It means that the reporter was going to be a part of the story, not only to inform the audience but she was an actual character in the story.
5.This story made me wonder why people do taxidermy in the first place. It is gross and even though the animal is dead they should be stuffed and put on a wall for decoration.
