Audio Recording for Video Production

What You Will Learn?

• When it comes to creating videos, many beginner video creators focus on the visual side of filmmaking. They focus on cinematography, flashy in-camera video transitions, lighting and even direction and editing, but the one thing often overlooked is sound. But, sound is really important! In fact, if you took two videos; one with great video but terrible sound and one with terrible video and great sound, most people would prefer the video with better sound. You can hide bad cinematography with B-roll, transitions and other visual tricks, but bad sound is hard to hide from. .
• So, let’s face this head on and get comfortable with capturing sound for video. Whether that’s for a YouTube video, an advert for your company or a major TV show, better sound doesn’t need to be complicated. In this course, I run through the different types of microphones available, how to position your mics, how to record and adjust the levels of your audio then how to avoid common problems, including reverb and wind distortion. .
• No previous filmmaking or sound experience required, although a basic understanding of making videos would be beneficial. .
