Audio Workshop;

"Good sound is a very important part of production"

Within our lecture we focused specifically on sound on the Sony Z1E cameras, which we can take note from when filming our own productions.




Sound Recorded:                                            Sound Recorded In Post Production:
-Dialogue                                                               -Sound effects
-Atmosphere                                                         -Voice over
                                                                                 -Music

Why do we need sound?
Music can be very emotive, ultimately it shapes an audiences' reaction as well as viewpoint to the film/programme filmed. For instance in horror films when there is no dialogue, whilst there is tension in a particular scene, as specific type of music will build on the tensed atmosphere.

Dialogue involves the audience, along with giving them extra information. Furthermore dialogue can also create a relationship with an audience especially in soap operas in particular.

When filming some elements of sound you do not take in to consideration until you listen back and realise the dialogue might not be clear due to wind/traffic/air-conditioning/heaters/fridges and many more. Selective hearing can eliminate the main focus of the sound.
