External Camera Audio Settings

What are 3 separate things that the presenter says to keep in mind when setting up your camera to record audio? Why are each of them important? What is one different thing that you would like to learn more about?

The presenter says that all the buttons on the recorder is extremely important. If one button is off, it can ruin all the audio or there will be no audio at all. For the mic-line switch, it its important to switch it to mic if you are using a microphone. If you are using anything that is not a microphone, it should be switched to line. It is okay to use the mic that is on the camera for b roll though it is not recommended. Do not use it for dialogue.

LETTER TO YOURSELF

Look back at your experience over the last two years here at Film/Video Production. Reflect on what you've learned, accomplished, the friends you've made and compose a letter to yourself on the first day of class in the beginning class. Imagine that this letter couple be delivered to yourself on that day and he/she could read it. What advice would you give your past self? Would you tell them they are going to have a great experience? What would you warn them about? Dear Angela from the beginning of second semester,       Here is some advice before going into this class: don't let being the new student stop you from expressing your opinions. The people in this class are very open and welcoming. Don't be afraid of them. They probably won't judge you for having ideas. It's okay to be wrong. It's better to say something than say nothing.

The Boom Microphone

Summarize 3 different key functions of a boom microphone that you picked up from this short video. What is one question you still have on how to operate a boom? Three different key functions I learned from this video: boom mics are good at picking up quality audio from different angles. It works best for closeup shots because the boom mic can be as close as it can be to the talent. It is also important for the mic to always be pointed at the subjects' mouth and not their general direction or at the top of their head.

FINAL EXPERIENCE WORDCLOUD

If you had to pick three things that you found the most valuable from this class experience, what would they be? What do you feel overall that this course has helped you prepare for? I think the group work was the most valuable because it helped me socially. I learned to act professionally at times were professionalism was most needed and I was able to stay calm and composed even when a group member was being immature and rude. Another thing I enjoyed was the class discussions and class work where we all created one thing. I liked the activity during the storytelling unit where we all passed around papers to create a story.
