Communication Quiz 6
Quiz content over audio notes.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Nat sound: | Natural sound in the environment |
| Acoustics | The environment of sound (how are we portraying the environment of sound?) |
| True or False: A controlled environment is critical to good audio | True. |
| Anechoic | Meaning "no echo." (negates frequencies) -- sound continues to bounce or gets absorbed; echoes are not produced |
| The three types of audio: | 1. Mono - single 2. Stereo - dual 3. Surround - 360 |
| What are the sounds that exist on a sound wave? | Base, treble, and mid-tones; you must balance these successfully to get a full range of audio |
| True or False: Premiere has AI-enhanced audio cleanup (does EQ work for you) - equalization | True. |
| True or False: A clapper synchs your audio | True; the slate (or clapper) is used to synch sound by clicking together; you match the waveform with the audio spike in post-production |
| When using a clapper, you need to use a different letter for every scene (DO NOT USE I's and O's) because they can look like numbers | True! |
| The clapper makes it easier for editors to synch audio; you synch sound so you do not use the actual camera audio | True. |
| Lavalier Mic | Good for concealing (it can be tucked away) also called a lav mic; can be clipped onto clothing and get close to mouth; also called lapel mic (can be hidden inside your tie, etc.) can be taped under clothing |
| Hobo Lav | When you clip off the earbuds and open memo and tape it inside of your shirt (old iPhone earbuds) |
| Omni-directional mic or "handheld" | Mic that picks up everything around the microphone; Reporters use omnidirectional mics (it is easy to hand off to someone else) |
| Directional mic (much longer mic) | Only picks up audio on one side; you point the mic at what you want to record; also called a "shotgun" mic because you point it; frequently attached to boom poles or mic stands |
| Windscreens can be attached to mics; it reduces the sound of wind | True; a common windscreen is called a dead cat, a hairy windscreen (used to soften audio/deaden wind sounds). Common rig: DSLR with shotgun mic and dead cat attached (standard vlogging setup) |
| DAT stands for... | Digital Audio Tape Recorder; a secondary recording device (can be synched to main mic audio) |
| Zoom Recorder | Good mics, but are fairly limited. They act as secondary recording devices (you can now get attachments for your phones that give you better audio quality); captures professional sound outside the studio setting |
| Room tone | Clean room sounds (can be used to smooth transitions in audio) can be played underneath an audio track; can help prevent audio from being "cut out" between clips; do it for each scene (room tone changes for each location) |
| MOS stands for... | "Mit out sound" when no sound is recorded ("mit oche sprechen" translates to "without speaking." --- Put fingers between slate and mark it as MOS; sound can be added later |
| ADR stands for... | "Additional dialogue recording" or automated dialogue replacement; dubbing over existing audio with audio recorded off-set; allows you to control the elements of the audio |
| True or False: you should try using the same mic to record ADR so audio quality is consistent; record in a dead room (room with no sound) | True. |
| What is cinematic sound? | Looking, sounding, and behaving like a movie (when sound sounds "cinematic.") |
| SFX stands for... | Sound effects; an artificially created or enhanced sound that's used to emphasize content in a variety of media |
| True or False: you use camera audio when recording | False; you do not use the camera audio, it is too distorted. |
| Foley | When you manufacture sounds; audio is reproduced on set (ADR) additional dialogue recording; can include sound effects. Foley sounds better and gives you control; foley is when you "perform" natural sounds |
| Origin of foley | Foley goes back to the 1920s; commonly used on the radio and created by a man named Jack Foley |
| More about foley | Foley is used in place of camera audio to create a more realistic and immersive effect; still images can be used with sound design and still create an immersive effect; natural sounds make you feel like you're living in the world |
| True or False: The sound of heartbeats makes us anxious | True; this is a common foley and sound effect used to establish tension |
| What are the three components of sound? | 1. Dialogue 2. Sound effects (artificially stimulated sound) 3. Soundtrack/score |
| What is the soundtrack/score? | The original music that accompanies a film; "The difference between comedy and horror is the music" -- Jordan Peele; the soundtrack can change the feeling; some editors will lay a rough track under a clip |
| True or False: when you take a soundtrack out of a film, the entire vibe changes | True. |
| What is the best way to manage music and sound effects? | A sound clip library • YouTube Studio --- has a library full of audio clips • List license types (for music and sound FX) |
