Production Diary - Study of Sound

As last time didn't go so well, I've been looking into sound recording and how I could improve it next time.

This video was one of the helpful things that helped me understand more about how sound works and is recorded and is well worth a watch.

As part of the BFI film academy course I've been doing, I attended a lecture on sound recording which was also very informative. Here are a couple pages of notes I drew up. As you can tell by the noughts and crosses, three hours with no toilet break was a little too long!

Sound quality can make or break a short film so it's important to get it right.
