Select from one of the readings, up to but not including Week 5, and briefly describe two points that you have taken from it. Points that excite you, something that was completely new to you. 

Week 3 Reading – Sound Recording

According to Week 3 Reading – Sound Recording, I find  2 sound recording elements/technique that are completely new to me.

Indoor Recording is one hard process , according to the reading. Not only the barren walls and floors can affect the quality of our audio but also other really small things in a room that a microphone can recorded. Having no experience in sound recording, I find the solutions really helpful by hanging blankets on the walls , potion box or soft furnishing to break up the path of the sound waves; keeping the mic cables well away from electrical cables to prevent the picking up of a 50Hz hum from cables.

Microphone placement was another key point that I learned out of Week 3 Reading. Doing a site check and check the type of connection points before shooting is needed. This process struck me , as a director of photography I find this small process really important cause I didnt know such small work decides the good or bad slow flow of the shooting day. And a camera mount is not recommended to place your microphone because it will record the camera person’s voice, breaths and so on.
