Sound In Moving Image production
Sound is a fundamental element of moving image production, therefore it is paramount to consider how it is captured. The camera microphone will not always be the most sufficient way of capturing audio, as a result the use of external microphones may be required. The source of the sound will determine what type of mic is used, certain things to consider are: the sensitivity of the recording device, its ability to withstand specific sound pressure levels, its directional response and the range of frequencies it is able to capture.
In-built Camera Microphone -
Using the camera microphone, on auto mode, resulted in poor audio quality overall. Although what was captured was more than audible, maximum clarity was not achieved.
Stereo Microphone -
By using the Zoom H1, audio was captured in a stereo format. Picking up the sound source from varying directions, hence giving an overall dimensional sound quality.
Shotgun Microphone -
The directional pick up pattern of this microphone ensured that the audio was captured with clarity, with little interference, producing clearly audible sound.
