Hi,
I'm in the pre-production process of creating a short film, and I'm particularly having trouble planning the sound workflow of the production.
I plan on having a great amount of wide angle shots that present a lot of the set, as well as actors in the screen. Being wide shots, I'm limited as to how close I can get with the boom pole (to obtain close, high-quality sound). I'm wondering how I can obtain these high-quality sounds while still maintaining generally wide shots. Do professionals still use boom poles? Am I supposed to use a lavalier microphone? Do I place a Zoom recorder in the actor's lap while they speak? What is the best solution for this type of issue? Thanks in advance.
