I know sound is always the sore spot in micro-budget movie-making.
I don't understand exactly how it works.
I have a great Rode Mic, boom pole. But, for my next flick I don't want to go to the camera if possible. Even on the best of shots, there's a slight camcorder motor hum.
I have a Korg 1600 which is a mobile digital recorder. Can I use that to record the sound? Are these field mixer things basically digital recorders? Or does the recording engineer just use that to lower wind or room noise or whatever?
Also, the last half hour of the movie the star is tied to a bed, and she's going to be doing a lot of screaming. I mean A LOT and her capture is going to be talking to her. Will this be a problem with one mic?
I'm trying to work out all the kinks I can think of before I start this project.
