Techniques and processes used to create sound elements

For this task I was told to create various sounds through foley and wild track, I also had to use different types of microphones such as Rode Mic, USB condenser and a voice recorder.

In the video the first type of recording device that I use was the a Rode mic. This recording device was unclear and hard to use. You had to hold the microphone that was attached to the camera still and make sure that I did not move. There was quite a bit of static sounds in the audio recording which over powered the audio and I was not able to hear the actual recording.










The next recording that I did was the school corridor and I used the voice recorder to do this. I had an actual school so I was able to stand in the corridor of the school and wait for the bell to go and for the studies to come out. The recording quality of the voice recorder was clear and picked up everything and when it came to put the audio on finale cut, it came out clear and crisp.

The rest of the recording that I did was with the USB condenser. For the raindrop I used the sugar crystals and dropped into in the a hollow bottle and put the mic close to the bottle. I picked up the sugar crystal and sprinkled it to the bottle.
I also used the USB mic to create the fire place. My partner used her voice to create the sound of fire place fume. I used a bottle and my partner ripped paper to create the effect of a fire place. The last recording that I did was for the restaurant. I did when I recorded the voice, me and my partner did the back ground voices we staged conversations and did layers of conversations. I also got plates played around with them. The USB condenser was clear and easy to use and it picks up all of the sound that you make.
