I had this posted somewhere else, but I feel it's definitely much more suited to this forum here.
This summer I'll be shooting my first feature, and it's coming down to the months here where I need to start picking up equipment.
I've decided I'm going to be using an Edirol R-44 as my field recorder, for my Canon XH A1.
The question I have is about microphones. I was always under the assumption for filmmaking, you used a shotgun microphone such as the Sennheiser 416, or the Rode NTG-2/3, however doing some research and reading, and watching videos, some places have said that for INDOOR filming (95% of my film) that a hyper-cardioid such as the Rode NT3 is a much better solution.
Opinion or expert advice on this? Any help is appreciated, as I only have enough in the budget for a single microphone, so I have to get this purchase right!
