I need some advice regarding shotgun mikes. I am shooting a movie and I tried to record the audio with a omni mike on a improvised boom, but the sound I am getting is just not cutting it. I am shooting with a Canon XL2. My questions are:
1. Does anyone know of any sites that compare shotgun mikes that are preferably in the 200-300 dollar range (Yes I know that is the low end for shotgun mikes)?
2. Does anyone just have a mike in that price range that they really like and would suggest I get one?
3. Will I need or should I boost the sound by using the option found with the XL2 menu after I get a shotgun mike.
Thanks!
