Sound Project 1 Boom Mic Positions - Student Interview
• Use a tripod and record someone speaking about 4 ft from the camera using the camera mic
• Use a tripod and record someone speaking about 4 ft from the camera but this time use a boom mic - repeat this two more times, each shot should include the mic IN the shot so we can see where the mic is located as you make the shot.
• The shots should be of a person or people speaking and you must get the dialogue recorded with the video. Change the location of the mic during the shots - be sure the mic location is visible in the shot.
The purpose of this exercise is to experiment with how the sound changes based on the mic location and how you can get different affects just by the location of the mic. The goal is also to get the best audio of the speaker(s).
Title each shot for which mic was used and where the boom is located and again be sure the boom is clearly visible in the shot. So if the boom is overhead the shot would be labeled "Overhead Boom". The first shot should be the camera mic and the following three shots should be the boom mic positions.
Edit your video with a title - Boom Mic Positions, your four shots, credits and music (music only for the intro and credits).
