Sound Unit Summary

   Revisit your earlier blog posts about sound.  What are 3 things you learned during this unit?  What did you learn about them?  Explain in detail.  What are two things that you still feel you need to learn more about?  Why?  What was one thing that you found the most interesting?  Why?

    Three things I learned during the sound for screen unit was the importance of sound design, how to equalize and adjust levels in adobe audition, and how to record proper sound onset. For sound design I learned how important it was because it's essential in the end to make your edit fully fleshed out and whole and not hollow, it provides the depth you need. For equalization and adjusting levels in audition thats important because in case audio gets messed up on set and theres unwanted noises or issues you can adjust those in post to get the cleanest audio possible. As for recording the best audio on set we learned how to boom properly and all the positions and how to hold it directly at the mouth because you would need to get the clearest audio and those mics need to be pointed directly at the subject from which the audio is coming from, as for lavaliers you would lav them correctly but still boom them just in case the lavs fail on you during the shoot you would have a back up, you should always make sure to record room tone which is 15-30 secs of pure silence recorded of everyone on set on the room to gather how everything sounds. I didn't mention this but what I found most interesting wad foley, this is because I find it so fascinating how they can make such obscure sounds with everyday objects.
