Chapter 1
The Importance of Sound
Whether you are
trying to
communicate your
marketing message
or telling a joke, the
sound must be clear
in order to translate
the message properly
to the audience.
Clear sound is one of the most important issues when creating a video.

Chapter 2
Capturing Sound for a Traditional Interview
A clip microphone is the ideal way to capture audio at a talking heads interview video.
“
”
Clip microphones can
be clipped on the
interviewee's blazer
or dress and the wire
can be hidden behind
the subject's clothes.
These microphones
are powerful and
carry a strong
signal, which goes
straight back into the
camera.
Chapter 3
Wire vs. Wireless Microphones
The wired option is safer as you lose less data and your video won't be interrupted by interferences of other radio frequencies
“
”
The difference
between a wired and
wireless microphone
is that the wired one
carries the signal
through a XLR cable
straight into the
camera or radio pack.
Chapter 4
Additional equipment for sound capturing
In addition to the clip microphone you can also take a boom microphone as well
“”
Which microphone to
use depends on the
number of people
your company has
available on the
shoot. The clip and
boom microphone will
go in via two different
inputs.

Advantages of using both clip and boom microphone
Chapter 5
Advantages of using both clip and boom microphone
A better sound mix can be achieved when getting the video into post-production
“
”
There could be a
great advantage of
using a clip plus
boom microphone. As
they are imported
separately, you still
have lots of options
if one of the
microphones fail or
has a problem.

Handling sound when the subject is moving
Chapter 7
Common Sound Problems
Another aspect of sound recording is noise, specifically room noise
“”
During post-
production it can be
challenging when you
cut from a quiet room
to a location that is
outside and you have
a lot more noise. To
make the transition
smoother and
unnoticeable it is
suggested to capture
a minute of white
noise.
