    In today's episode of Four Minute Film School, production sound mixer Andrew Jones walks us through four cinematic sound tips that you can use in your next film, documentary, vlog, or narrative production to up your sound quality!
    Sound mixing can make or break a film. You can have the highest quality camera, amazing talent, and a perfect screenplay, but if your sound design is terrible, your film will be terrible!
    Luckily, these four cinematic sound hacks will help up your audio game and your overall production quality. These tips include capturing wild sounds (on-set foley), getting clean audio takes with your actors (your editor will thank you), using boom perspective (enhance your narrative), and using sound effects.

      To get clean audio you need three things: good mic placement, clean preamps on your audio recorder and a mic with low noise. Even the most expensive recorder will give bad results if you have a hissy mic, and vice versa. So have your mic and recorder on the same level of quality, they're equally important.
      Good mic placement is free so remember that always, no matter what equipment you usr ;)
      (Oh, there is a fourth thing: do your best to cancel out all the noise you don't want to hear.)

    TIP: If the sound guy says "do it again", do it again. Trust the guy with the headphones.

    • @HikingWithCooper
      @HikingWithCooper Pƙed 2 lety +10

      And also TELL your sound guy to tell you to do it again. Sound guys so often act like whipping boys. No, they are half of the movie. Make sure they know that.

    I think you nailed the top 4, but perhaps a tip in post: use a bit of compression in dialogue and if still need to separate dialogue from ambient & effects, make sure they aren't sharing all the same frequencies so much, give them a little different EQ for further separation

    Thanks! Quick question. If I was shooting a straightforward sit-down interview indoors, with, say, a Rode NTG3 boomed close to the source, would you recommend using a normal foam windscreen to reduce plosives, etc or just having the microphone bare to have slightly better audio quality?

  • @jennyluvsfood

    • @DeityMicrophones
      @DeityMicrophones Pƙed 6 lety

      48Khz 24bit is what your audio recorder should be set to. 96Khz is for oversampling like when you want to slow down the audio in post or for recording sound effects.

    • @quarter8thfilms30
      @quarter8thfilms30 Pƙed 6 lety +1

      Start with a 120D and the full size dome, it'll provide more then enough light for your setup. You can add either two 672's or the Tri-8's depending on your budget. They would provide nice fill and hair lights, in a pinch you could also use the M9's as a hair light - or a Mini20.
