Recording Audio For Moving Image.

We must know the best processes, the best equipment and the best methods to recording sound.

We've got to consider sound in the location reports, as well as thinking about the microphones. We must know how to connect audio, and monitoring and controlling levels of different types of sound.

1. Assess the location.
2. Choose the right microphone.
3. Position the microphone.
4. Connect and check (using headphones AND levels).
5. If recording separately, use a clapperboard.
6. Do you need a second sound source?

The best thing to do is to talk about it to a camera when filming on set, and explaining what's going on with the sound and also the problems that there may be. Explain why these things are done and what problems there may be if it's not done. This gives evidence of the above list. Also give further knowledge of studio sound/microphones, for a higher grade.
