Sound Practice


Just to check that we had a firm hold upon the logistics of using the sound equipment and in what situations to use each one piece of tech, following on from my previous post as to sound on location, a short piece was shot using an improvised script but as good sound as possible. The below is the result, utilising the boom pole, directional microphone, two sets of headphones, the camera and the surround sound mic as well as "Dead kittens" on the end of each of the mics to cut out wind noise and external feedback. On the actual micro track the gain was used to control the sound which was naturally recorded, keeping it around -10 so it could be edited to the best of our ability in Final Cut. By aligning the peaks in the sound bar from both the camera and micro track we were able for replace the camera sound and increase the quality of the audio tenfold.  The difference can be seen compared to the test where only the camera sound is used above.
