Hey Guys,
I am producing a short film over the next few months and I am just deciding how to tackle the shooting of a party scene. So there will be about 20-30 dancing people and then there will be like dialogue between characters on a couch against a wall. I've been tossing up whether to shoot it with a silent group of party goers in the background and using a boom, or by placing lapel mics on each of the character speaking and letting the rest of the party goers carry on? Would the sound of the lavalier mics be too different to the sound of the boom mic in other scenes of the movie? Any thoughts on this topic?
Cheers
George
