Clarity – being able to hear what is said between the characters/sound
essential to the frame
Cleanness – Has it been clearly recorded?
Selection – a clear idea whether what sound you recorded is
what you intended - appropriate/inappropriate
Reduction of unwanted elements – sound of the wind
Continuity – have a constant sound movement
Any sound that isn't dialogue should be recorded separately after the main action in the scene has been recorded. This is known as "Wildtrek"
Room Sound/Tone - at the end of each scene, record one/two minutes of "Room Tone"
- "We're going to record one minute of room tone"
- This will create better cutting continuity.
Side Notes:
- XLR cables provide better quality sound than stereojack cables
- Avoid being "unidirectional" - it will only pick up the sound in a lined direction - make sure the microphone is facing directly at the actor's lips!
- The recording level should be three quarters of the way across for good dialogue
- Get all the cable behind the mic, and wrap it around the boom hole, giving it some slack nearer the microphone; this keeps the cable clean.
- The microphone is very delicate
