Documentary Sound
This week we began to experiment with sounds that we will be able to use in the documentary and we were introduced to the gun/riffle microphone. This is used typically for outside location work as they are directional and aimed directly at the performance.
In our group, we filmed each other taking it turns to be interviewed, in charge of the camera, and in charge of the sound. This allowed us all to start getting used to the sound settings and how to use the correct input. We experimented holding the microphone in different positions to listen to where the sound is best and most effective. We found that it sounded better when the microphone was held above the interviewee as the dialogue was a lot clearer.
