Foley
Foley is the art of recreating realistic sounds in film. Foley artists recreate everyday sounds like footsteps or gunshots that were not captured well during filming. This allows them to enhance audio quality and add missing sounds during post-production. Some methods include using shoes on a floor to mimic footsteps or speeding up recordings of grapes to sound like gunshots. Foley is useful for improving low quality audio, creating sounds from unexpected objects, and reusing recorded effects between projects. The technique originated from live radio broadcasts and got its name from Jack Donovan Foley, who synchronized off-screen sound effects for a 1914 film.
Lighting
This document discusses the importance of lighting in film, particularly in the horror genre. It explains that lighting is used to create mood, drama, and suspense and has been integral to the fear factor in horror films from early German impressionist films to more modern titles.

ADR, ambient and recording out doors
ADR involves recording audio separately that is later synchronized with video to replace or enhance existing audio. It is often used to improve audio quality in loud environments. Effective ADR allows directors to record video on location while capturing high-quality audio without distractions. Proper equipment like lav mics, shotgun mics, and audio recorders are needed. Ambient sounds provide an atmospheric background and establish context, mood, and continuity between shots. Recording ambient audio on location requires microphones and a recording device. Both ADR and ambient sounds are editing techniques used to enhance realism.
Media group presentation
Automated dialogue replacement (ADR) is used to improve audio quality and allow for dialogue changes by re-recording actors' lines in a studio after filming. This enhances sound clarity and allows editing of volume and removal of background noises. ADR is commonly used in films and television shows. While it risks new dialogue not matching footage, careful work by editors and multiple takes can prevent this. Voiceovers are also widely used and require similar equipment as ADR, with microphones and editing software. They provide necessary context through narration and are effective when the voice matches the message and visuals. Examples of good voiceovers include films like Toy Story, while early Resident Evil games demonstrated voiceovers gone wrong due to poor acting and
Priorities Of Recording
The document outlines six priorities for a production mixer when recording audio on set: 1) Getting usable dialogue is the top priority. 2) Maintaining proper audio perspective to match the camera viewpoint. 3) Syncing sound effects without compromising dialogue. 4) Recording wild lines and off-camera dialogue for coverage. 5) Capturing wild sound effects not available in libraries. 6) Recording ambiance and room tone to patch holes in the edited soundtrack.
Media group presentation- ADR, Voiceovers
Automated dialogue replacement (ADR) involves re-recording dialogue in a studio after filming to improve audio quality and allow for dialogue changes. ADR is necessary because on-set audio is often of poor quality due to background noise. It allows dialogue volume and background sounds to be manipulated. ADR is used extensively in films and television shows. The main risk is that newly recorded dialogue may not sync properly with footage.
Audio in Video: The Basics
Audio in video production has taken leaps and bounds to be where it is today, a foundational aspect of production.

Q6
The student used various software and hardware technologies to create a film production. Final Cut Pro was used for editing and allowed them to organize clips, sound, and effects to construct their story, though some elements did not fit together smoothly. Presentation software was also used to create colorful, engaging blogs to present their work. A Panasonic camera was used for filming but not all of its settings were utilized. A H4N audio recorder captured clear foley sounds to sync with clips. The student aims to improve their skills with Final Cut Pro and sound editing.
Understanding and using sound
Before the 1930s, recording sound was difficult as everyone else had to remain quiet during filming so their voices would not be captured. Now, sound can be edited to create different effects. There are two main types of sound in films: diegetic sound that occurs in the world of the film, and non-diegetic sound that does not occur in the world of the film and cannot be heard by characters. Essential equipment for recording quality sound includes a camcorder with a separate microphone, an external microphone to get closer to sound sources, and a boom poll and dead cat to effectively record dialogue scenes.

Welcome
This document introduces the importance of sound in movies from early silent films to modern productions. It discusses the transition to "talking pictures" and how dialogue is now a key part of film scripts and storytelling, as the soundtrack alone can convey much of the plot without video. Production sound is crucial for recording live dialogue on set.
Classes Of Microphones
There are three main classes of microphones: dynamic, electret condenser, and true condenser. Dynamics have the least sensitivity and generate electricity from sound-induced movement within a magnetic field. Electret condensers require battery power and have greater sensitivity than dynamics. True condensers are the most sensitive and require external phantom power but are best for capturing subtle sounds. Microphone selection depends on the application and a balance of attributes like reach, sensitivity, pattern, and rejection of ambient noise and echoes.
Microphone Patterns
There are several microphone patterns that determine the directionality of sound pickup. Omni-directional microphones pick up sound equally from all directions, making them good for interviews where mic angle is variable. Cardioid microphones are most sensitive to sound from the front and pick up less from the sides and back, reducing feedback and ambient noise. Bi-directional microphones pick up sound equally from the two sides but not the front or back. Mid-side stereo techniques use a bi-directional mic together with a cardioid mic to allow control over the left-right stereo image during mixing. Hypercardioid and shotgun microphones have a tight, directional pickup pattern that focuses on sound from directly in front
Microphone Types
The document discusses different types of microphones and their common applications. It describes microphones used for podiums and desktop recording that are dynamic and prevent feedback. It also mentions lavalier microphones that are small and body-worn, as well as pressure zone microphones that are mounted above a hard surface to pick up sound hemispherically from several feet away. Studio music microphones are highlighted as high quality condenser microphones suitable for rich sound recording but too sensitive for live performance.
The Professional Approach
This document provides guidance for sound crew roles and responsibilities on film productions. It discusses the roles of the production mixer, boom operator, and utility sound technician. It covers salaries, equipment needs, budgets, and best practices for professional and effective sound capture and management. The key roles, responsibilities, and priorities are to hire the right crew, properly prepare equipment, capture all dialogue, and maintain a professional attitude and efficient workflow.

Learning production sound helps directors understand crew capabilities to effectively communicate priorities and evaluate audio quality, and it helps those in the film industry understand sound crew roles to work as a successful team.
