capturing data or translating
information to a recording

4. In terms of where you want to record, you need to take into account the following:
• Background noise – if you want to record a direct sound such as a window smash or a pen
click, you don’t really want to have any unwanted noise also known as background noise.
• Isolating your object
• Microphone positions
When you position your microphone, you want the sound to be as professional as possible. So when you
record someone speaking to the camera, you will want to cut down the background noise by using a
boom mic that you will raise as high as possible but as close as you can get to the actor who is speaking.
To adhere to continuity, you will want to keep the boom mic from being seen in the shots keeps audiences
in the reality of the film.
Audio is recorded in a different process than visuals. They are both not recorded on the same camera but
different ones that are suited specifically for visuals and sound.
Clapperboards are used to synchronise the sound with the visuals during post production.

7. There are several effects used in audio production that help in creating various elements
including:
• Phase is a term used to describe the position of one sound wave relative to
another.
• Flange is an audio effect that is produced when 2 signals, which are identical are
mixed together but with one signal delayed less than a second.
• Distortion is where the effects create warm, fuzzy and dirty sounds by
compression and adding overtones. 2 of the distortion effects are fuzz and overdue.
• Compression is where all the sounds are at average volume instead of some
sounds being too quiet or too loud. Compression helps make those sounds into an average
volume.
• EQ is where you choose certain frequencies on the wavelength that you want to
keep or want to cut.
Altering sounds help make them slightly more professional and suitable for certain
productions.

8. File transfer is the name for the act of transmitting files from one computer to another or
to the internet. File transfer helps when you want to edit a project from one computer to
another. Some films and audio production will do file transfer in case the computer it is
