Sounds like...
An introduction to sound recording devices today. Depending on the context of the recording required, a different piece of recording equipment should be used. A boom microphone should be used in a crowd or any location which requires assistance with microphone usage.
Sound recorders can also be used. An Edirol is a handheld recording device used for personal recording, with side-placed microphones which are ideal for interview recordings. The sound levels should be checked before any recording takes place. Headphones should also be worn so that an accurate perception of what the recording sounds like as it is saved to the memory card can be obtained.
Some microphones (like a Zoom microphone) have fluffers which resist picking up popping and wind noise. They are therefore ideal for radio work and outdoor use, because the don't require the use of a wind shield. If a boom microphone is required in windy weather, a wind shield can be applied to reduce the recording of wind noise. A small, fluffed microphone sitting on a table (like a Zoom) is very ideal for an interview situation because its side-placed microphones can record sound from all directions.
Interviews are best recorded in a soundproof room with a pop shield. Popping often occurs when the subject is too close to the microphone. Soundproofed rooms are ideal because they reduce the unwanted recording of background noise. They are often used in music recordings - but I think most of us knew that already.
In other news, I've finalised my documentary ideal - an interactive-style piece about guitars and guitarists, etc. It's going to feature a mix of real-life photography and animated portions of famous guitarists, in a cel shaded style. Starting with Hendrix in Illustrator, going well. I have until the 9th of February to get this thing finished.
