The boom operator is the person in control of the boom pole and the mic attached to it. They must be confident when controlling the boom, as the audio they capture is extremely important. In terms of quality, boomed dialogue is by far the best, if compared to lavaliers or boundary mics. As our roles on set will be different each day, in order that all of us will get a decent amount of experience in each role, no one person will be booming all the time. So we will all need to practice and research effective booming techniques.
