Today we began the first day of recording sound on set for the short film. The location was in Hartsholme park, and all the shots today only consisted of one actor (the main character) with little to no dialogue. Given the situation we knew that most of the sound captured today would be through the boom pole however we also decided to use a radio mic on the actor, as many scenes included a lot of heavy breathing and expressive action thus this was the best way to capture these without having to add them in, in post-production.
This was a good way to start recording as it gave us a bit of space to get a feel for using the new kit, such as the 633 and the rifle mics without missing any important dialogue. We didn’t experience any difficulties recording today and came out with some successful recordings.
Unfortunately, due to filming today myself and Aaron were unable to attend Dave McSherry’s lecture.
