Which to get first?

[Blanc/Noir]

Should I attempt to get a boom setup first or a shotgun for audio purposes?

wat r u filming first?

 

[Blanc/Noir]

This is just a general question for investment. I'm not sure what the first I will be filming will be.

A boom is the sound an explosion makes, or a stick
A shotgun is a gun, or a type of mic suitable for outdoors

Assuming your not planning on some indoor violence, go with the mic first.

Get the microphone off the camera and as close to the actors' mouths as possible.

if u think ur going to be filming indoors, get a boom pole and attach watever mic u can afford to it.

Buy the microphone. You can make a boom out of a broom.
