Audio Complications
The microphone kit we attempted to use:
Audio was one of the top 3 complications we had throughout the film; "Are we or are we not using a microphone kit", was a question that was running in my head. My assistant director informed be that using the microphone kits could be tricky and is not the most reliable thing to us for audio. He warned me that there could be a good chance that all our video's audios could turn out bad if I only relied on the microphone kits. I came up with the solution to make two takes of everything: take 1 with the microphone kit plugged in AND take 2 without the microphone kit plugged in. We decided to only test this out for shooting day 1 so that we can decide which method would be best for the remaining of the film.
After listening and comparing the two audios, we came to the quick decision that filming without the mic was the better option. When my cinematographer got home, she listened back to all the shots to ensure that the audio was clear and loud after exporting and I received report that it was good and effective. Currently I do not have any recordings of the audio with the microphone to show a stark comparison with audio without the mic.
