Sound recording session

Sync sound allows you to record sound simultaneously with recording video, Lavalier microphones are something that we experimented with and learnt more about in our sound session. They are especially useful and mostly used for interview purposes as they are quite small making them easier to conceal than ordinary microphones. However despite this there can sometimes be trouble with sound coming from the interference of clothing traveling up the wires, this can be avoided with a few tricks. Tieing the wire in a loop helps to help create strain relief so that noise cant travel up the wire in to the microphone, also gaffer tape is the best way to stick the wire down to clothing or the skin without it leaving a residue or causing pain when peeling off.The microphones are quite small as it is however there are some good techniques used in order to conceal them under clothes, for example behind the tie, under the collar etc., in terms of using this in our documentary it will be very useful as we are hoping to film some student interviews along with an interview with a sleep specialist to help back up the points in our interview with a professional source.
