audio


SA/NA- signal-acoustic/Noise acoustic ratio. 
SE/NE- Signal electronics/Noise electronics ratio.
CYA- Cover your arse (be prepared)

SA/NA
Things to know:
  • Need to select the right mic.(omni, cardioid, hypercardioid, shotgun and lavalier)
  • Get your source within the mic acceptance angle 
  • Tuck noises into field where the recording wont happen (into mic nulls)
  • Minimize wind and handling noise (the fluffy thing that wraps round the shotgun mic)
SE/NE
things to know:
  • select a mic that minimizes electromagnetic interference
  • what settings to us on a camera/recorder
CYA
Things to know:
  • use audio bracketing for camera overload protection
  • only fool neglects wear headphones
The closer the mic is the better and clearer the audio is going to be. The further away the mic the quieter the sound is going to be. The shotgun mic is better to record from above because wherever you aim it to/ angle it to that's what sound it will pick up. For example if you point it upwards then you would receive all the sound from the sky(airplanes etc). Use shotgun mics by holding it above the actors head to get the best audio without too much background noise.Use a fluffy thing to put around the shotgun mic to block out any wind noise.Clip on mics are better for clearer audio inside like a studio on a talk show because the background noise can be controlled unlike outside.

colour correction

Colour correction is correcting the colours of images/clips to make them more even. Colour is measured in degrees kelvin. The colours mainly used in videos are red green and blue which is known as RGB. In premiere pro when colour correcting you create your timeline and select your sub clips. You then go to window then workspace the workspace you click on is colour correcting. Once in this work space, in the bottom right corner your video will come up again. at the top right of that box there is a button. Click on it and select RGB parade. Once you have done this you click on the effects button in the top left corner. in the search bar type fast and an option will come up below saying fast colour corrector. click on this and click on effect controls. A colour wheel will come up. with this drag the centre of the wheel towards the opposite side of the colour there is more of on your clips. this will even out the colour. another thing you can do is in the effects tab search RGB and then select rgb curves. then go onto effect controls and 4 boxes will come up. these help you edit the colour of the clips. you can move them up and down and the white one you create curves.
