I'm planning to record a few films soon. (One short, one feature) and I'm just wondering, as a general point, would I be better to use the Mic on my camera, or try and find a boom mic?
The camera is a Canon Legria HF R16, and from what I've tested (Which isn't much) the audio works pretty well.
I know general consensus is usually to go with a Boom mic/Shotgun Mic, but is it really worth the expense at an early stage?
Also on the mic front, I do have a Zoom H4 four track, that I can record direct or plug a mic into if it came to it.
Any advice?
