Sound - Quality

Quality Criteria

  • Clarity
    • Being able to hear what is being said between the characters and anything that is essential material to the integrity of the product.
  • Cleanness
    • To be recorded clearly.
  • Reduction of unwanted elements
    • Sounds like the wind.
  • Selection - appropriate / inappropriate 
    • A clear understanding of what sounds we want in our film, that is selected by the director rather than sounds that our against the continuity of the product.
  • Continuity
    • This is to show it is selected and directed and not just accidentally there.


Achieving good sound:

  • Wildtracks
    • Any sound that isn't dialogue should be recorded separately after the main action the scene has been recorded.
  • Room Sound/Room Tone
    • Record 1/2 minutes of room tone - this will create better cutting continuity as this will allow us to use this clean sound on top of a clip that may have insufficient sound.

Mic - The importance of the boom pole direction.

The boom pole is uni-directionalIt will only pick up sounds in a lined direction.


The recording level should be three quarters of the way across for good dialogue. 



Wrap the cable around the boom pole, therefore the cable won't get into the way of the camera shot.
