Sound/Audio Testing

These short clips are experiments with various microphones, in order to establish which record the best quality audio when filming. 

In this video, we used only the in-camera audio to record Elliot talking. Although this does record sound, it is not very clear and there is a lot of extra noise picked up by the microphone. 

In this video, we recorded Elliot talking using a Zoom H1 microphone which we attached to the hot shoe ontop of the DSLR camera we were using. This was far more effective than the in-camera audio, however we can still hear a little bit of background noise.

Finally, we used a boom microphone which was plugged into a recorder, which was then plugged into the camera. This produced the best quality audio, however, using this method of recording sound is not always suitable as you need at least two people to operate it.
