Learning to film with sound

In our lesson we were taught by a year 13 Media student Tom Joyce, who taught us all the techniques for sound when
filming.

Before  filming you must (as the camera man)

- Call what's going to happen

- Call the take

- Get the actors to clap to make the sound synchronisable

The sound needs to be synchronisable so that there is a peak of sound in which the person in charge of sound can use to help fiddle with pitch and tempo.

Sound man however just needs to stand out of shot with the microphone and audio device.
This lesson was useful to me as we can use this skill to record audio without any external sound interference like wind etc.
