Sorry to keep ranting on about sound issues, I should think more about lenses really.... Ok so I should be filming in some woods on Sunday, the short does not have any dialogue, but I will want to capture the best of the ambiance sound around me. Should the mic be on stereo or mono for...

Oh, maybe your not using head phones? Wheres that AlcoveAudio he sounds like he has bat ears lol

Dialogue Test video I did Thankyou directorik for your support. I have had a quick go at the footage I filmedwhile my parter is out (she finds all this film production annoying lol ) here is a link to the test video. I used wavepad for the audio editing and sony vegas for the video. The...

Nice fight scene i MUST SAY. What camera was you using may I ask? I agree with thebuck, the dalogue was to low there. Also the randomness of a fight with a random guy not much of a story, but I guess as the buck said it didint really need one as it was more about the fight scene.

Hey thanks for that, I guess I did learn somthing just thought it would be somthing more less silly:P I didnt use head phones as my camera doesnt have a headphones soket, the only thing I have is a visual mic level that reacts. I am pretty much a one man band, I dont know anyone whos into...

This was only for a test practice but still it was a shame, I think i did have the mic stationary on one of the master shots, at least i hope i did lol. ill see what i can do.

Ok so I filmed 2 people acting out a scene from my screenplay last night. I had a master shot of them both in chairs and then over the shoulder shots from one and the other. Problem I found was that on the master shot when they were both in the frame I was cueing but when one said one thing and...

That sounds good mate, i like.

I see what your saying that was what I was trying to say earlier. I do only have one boom but I do want to overlap at least a few times or it will look to ping pong like, Ill have to test and try things. Arguments espeicaly should over lap I tink unless it was intended to cut bit by bit like...

directorik, Yeah I am going to try that, going to get a couple of people to read somthing i did, for a test. Alcove, Well im not scared off yet, which is good, all I want to do is make my film ideas, so I need to know what I need to know, If I somtimes feel a bit of enthusiasm has gone I...

Cheers again alcove, The first book you mentioned by David Sonnenschein is quite cheap on Play.com so I think I may get that today. I guess I shall learn more with more practice and talking to people.

Thankyou people, I shall keep reading this all week so this all sinks into my brain. Just one thing Alvoe, you said this on one of your posts: You also must checkerboard the dialog; this means that you will take away all of the room tone from between the lines of dialog and then place the...

thanks for that 2001, What still kind of bugs me is that i am going on the asumption that i may have many different takes with different angels , so say I have shot A to overlap shot B i wouldnt want the off mic sound of A talking whilst be, i guess u just need to delete the audio of that...

Ok so I am trying to work out in my head this, which maybe simple but I may need some sort of clarification: If I have filmed 2 people talking with 2 different angels over the shoulder one side and the other, when I want to edit and cut away when A is talking to see B, does the audio overlap...

I see what you are saying, I guess I was trying to explain whos house he was in, is this because I am sort of writing a story instead of a screeyplay? I shall reedit these bits and revise what I have done, thankyou!!

I have only just started writing screenplays, only writen 2 short ones. Its good fun but I would just like an opinion on this first bit of mine. This is based in the UK so if the dialogue seems a bit querky thats why lol EXT.DEALERS DOOR.DAY TOMMO rings the bell of his pot head dealers...

Ok so now another dilema has hit me. I have one mic, I wish to shoot 2 people talking A and B. When the scene is acted out I wish to have the scene shot one angle over the shoulder of A and again with B so when I edit I can cut between the two. The thing is do I move the boom back and fourth...

Thankyou for your replies, I guess im trying to make the best of what I have for a good look, I only have CANON FS100 camcorder, I would like to try and make things look good and not just any old camcorder look.

Sorry let me rephrase that, What I mean is how often is the DOF look in film used, or is it on all the time sort of thing.

I am learning more on this area now, i think i may need to buy a DIY 35mm adapter or make one. But how often is it used in films, obviously I notice the scenes but Im just wondering if there are films that use it a lot less or is there a film out there that has not used it. Im sorry if this...
