How to get good quality sound when shooting a film?
Q. When I always used to make short films I used the crappy camcorders Microphone, and it sounded so mono and just not filtered. What is the best, cheapest way to get Theatrical quality sound? Thanks.
A. Good question- people don't realize how much good sound counts, you can have crappy images and weird editing, but if the sound is messed up it will take the audience out of the story instantly.
Find a cheap shotgun mic ($40) that has an 1/8th plug for the little cameras, and make a cheap homemade boom-pole and windscreen. Have a friend be boom op.
Next step- post sound. 99% of all sound in professional films and videos is recorded in a studio, then edited in- even the dialogue. Use only the dialogue from your on set recordings- edit everything else out then either rerecord (foley) the ambient sounds- footsteps, rustling, birds, etc. in post or find free samples online. If the dialogue is messed up do ADR, or record the actors lines in the studio (a quiet closet) and sync them up. Mix and EQ.
Also don't forget to record room tone on set, its the ambient hum of every location- and it changes with every room or location. After you finish filming just record 30 sec. of absolute quiet- you can then insert that room tone to help smooth over your edits in post- that's how the pros do it.
