Tutorial Notes

My part of the script.

Sound.

There are a number of different mircophones that may be used while recording, make sure you choose the correct one for your enviroment! Have a look at these different types of microphone and find the suitable one for you. (Show microphones on screen during each one)

Lavier mic - This microphone is small and clips onto your clothing (collar,shirt etc) This personal microphone allows hands free speech and is commonly used in television,theatre and public speaking. Make sure to place the microphone in a position where the possibility of the mic scratching against clothing is eliminated. As this would be amplified aswell.

Shotgun mic - Shotgun microphones are mostly high directional. They have small areas of sensitivity to the left,right and rear but are far less sensitive to the left and right as other microphones are. Due to the narrowness of sensitivity, these microphones are commonly used on television and film sets, in stadiums, and for field recording of wildlife.

Cardiod mic - This is the most common unidirectional microphone (unidirectional meaning the microphone is sensitive to sounds from one direction)

Sync.

Sync - This is when the sound is in time with the video/action taking place. This must be in time with the video so it makes sense

Non sync - This is sound that doesn't fit the image but still makes sense.

Out of sync - The sound does not fit the image and does not make sense (out of timing)
