A great soundtrack can make your film truly distinctive! Learn secrets of professional sound recording on location for documentary or drama. How to avoid wind rumble on the mic; how to choose a microphone; techniques that can make recorded voices sound as good as the movies; understand how to use mics around the camera shot; avoid pitfalls that will make the sound editing difficult.
Suitable for complete novices or experienced film-makers, encompassing low-to-no budget projects, this workshop covers the basics you need to improve your sound. Time available for one to one consultations on individual projects (Pre-booked only). Bring whatever video camera or sound kit you have, the session includes lots of practical work.
