Practical lesson: Things to remember when filming

• Think about reflections like window reflection, as that means the cameraman and the boom mike may be in the shot.
• Wait until obvious sounds like lawnmowers or planes have gone as if you switch the shot in the same scene, it will be obvious the sound is missing
• You always need a main light on both the faces in the shot and then one light from the side or back.
• Make sure the boom hovers over the person talking and that it is close enough to their faces but NOT in the shot.
• If you have recorded outside, and then want to dub over the voices again because they didn't sound good in the original filming, you need to also record about 20 seconds of the surroundings you were in just so you get an atmospheric sound and so the v dubbed voices blend into the scene
