before we started to record our sound we had to go through how the equipment worked, so we learnt about male and female cables and XLR cables and shotgun microphone etc. After i was told how to use this equipment we started recording, we moved locations three times because we had interference with people come in and out and technicians. So that was also another thing i learnt that i will not repeat to save time. We recorded all of the sounds in the drama studio as it was empty and quiet. I liked this activity as i know that all the sounds used in the foley are my own and they fit in with the clip.
What i haven't enjoyed about this task was people butting into my sounds when i was recording and having to move around a lot which would waste a lot of time.
When i recorded the sounds i wanted them to sound exactly how the clip shows but obviously it s hard to do that when you haven't got the clip right in front of you, but when it come to adding the sounds to the actual clip it wasn't so bad as i was able to edit the sound and make it fit in better.
Balanced audio is very important. If you have sounds that you have recorded that clip or are way too quiet, they are no good, you need sound which doesn't clip and every sound that you record needs to be in the same range otherwise they are hard to work with or may have to redo them.
I used this ZOOM sound recorder with a shotgun microphone
