Location Sound Mics (2nd Nov) – Booming Techniques
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.
Location Sound Mics (2nd Nov) – Boundary Mics
This is a short post about the potential use of boundary mics when recording audio for Cognition. Boundary mics are exceptionally useful tools when used correctly.
Spare Room Location Analysis (28th Oct)
In this blog post I’ll be analysing the second location the media students have found for Cognition, which is a spare bedroom in the Producer’s house. I believe the script will be altered slightly to accommodate this change of setting. I’ll enclose a picture of the room, but it is quite small, with some furniture that should be relatively easy to move, apart from a large double bed. This occupies a large amount of space in the room, and realistically must be moved in order to utilise the full space of the room.
