Audio Basics

  • What can you do to fix audio?
When you are trying to fix audio you can adjust the db level that is being heard by the listener. This means that if something is too loud you can lower the db and if something is too quiet you can raise the db.
  • What cannot be fixed?
Things that cannot be fixed include the audio recording because the only thing that can be adjusted is the overall db level for the audio track.

Also what I enjoyed a lot was being able to help with other groups shoots. Before we would only shoot in our own groups, but with the freedom to shoot outside of class it became a lot easier. Seeing how other people performed their tasks and managed their crew was also an interesting and insightful experience. What I Learned the Most I've learned the most about how to deal with people on a set. Being outside of school completely changes the dynamic and it really shows you who is a hard worker and who isn't. Being able to pick and choose who I worked with is great, but it is important to know how to work with people you wouldn't want to work with.
