Sequences are made up of scenes.
4
And scenes are made up of shots.

Now quiet on set Hello
13
Last time we looked at the physics of sound
14
which is defined as a Disturbance that creates an acoustic wave through an elastic medium like a liquid gas or solid
15
We also looked at various terms
16
that recur in the sound department along with a plethora of equipment that is needed and And finally,
17
we went through the various production sound positions that are available on set.
18
Today, we'll look closer at what the sound crew does on set, and how they adapt to different environments.
19
Let's begin with the general rules for recording sound on set.
20
The sound department's work on set starts long before the recorder starts rolling.
21
Though a sound mixer was likely present during the tech scout for locations, they will begin to look for potential noise issues that could arise on set.
22
If they spot anything, they will communicate them to the locations department.
23
The team will also watch rehearsals in order to get a better sense of how to mic the scene.
24
All to you.
25
Cheers.
26
Far more than my wages amount to.
27
Cheers.
28
Ideally, they will be able to position the shotgun so that it's no more than three feet away from a subject.
29
They can also add plant mics, microphones that are hidden on set to capture the sounds that the shotgun may miss.
30
Here's the mic, right here in the bush.
31
Now you talk towards it.
32
Once more, it is the mixer's job to vocalize if they see a potential sound issue during the run-through.
33
In the long run, vocalizing problems early will help expedite the shooting process, an important quality for a good sound department.
34
Mixer Chris Howland explains.
35
The last thing you can do is slow the train down.
36
And so you're always listening to gauging the tone of the room, trying to read between the lines, because if things change, you need to be able to change with them
37
and you know you can't rely on somebody to just tell you this is what's going to happen.
38
When actors are done with hair and makeup the mixer will then wire them placing the larve in their costumes.
39
It's important for a mixer to be sensitive during the process clearly communicating where they will locate the larve.
40
It's also critical that the larve's placement will have minimal clothing noise.
41
Production sound mixer Tom Williams explains his approach.
42
You're trying to get it right to the edge of a costume
43
when you've only got a millimeter or so to play with.
44
You really need to push it out as much as possible to get as much air on the mic.
45
And it still has to obviously be hidden.
46
Once the actors are miked and the boom operator is in place, in place, the sound department is ready to record.
47
The second assistant camera will slate in front of the camera after the sound mixer confirms they are speeding.
48
Speed!
49
70 Apple, take 3.
50
Ensuring that the post team will be able to sync footage and audio easily.
51
The boom op will usually move the shotgun close to the slate to get the clap, and then move it back into position.
52
When they are ready, they will often announce, Boom, set!
53
Set! And action!
54
While recording the scene, the mixer will watch the levels.
55
They will usually want to keep audio peaks between minus 6 and minus 12 dB.
56
Hitting 0 dB could cause distortion.
57
To ensure distortion doesn't occur, some sound mixers will use limiters.
58
This will prevent peaks but may eliminate dynamism from dialogue, so it's typically used sparingly.
59
The sound department will also want to capture room tone, audio of the set without any other noise.
60
This recording can be used by the post-production sound team in the sound bed of a scene, so there's never total silence.
61
And so cuts between dialogue aren't as jarring.
62
You remind me of the daughter they took away from me.
63
A sound mixer will often remind the assistant director at the beginning of the day that they'll need time for room tone.
64
Hold it, hold it, hold it!
65
What?
66
I still have to record room tone.
67
Okay, okay, alright, everybody...
68
When recording, the boom operator will make sure the microphone is pointed in the same direction it was during the scene
69
to ensure a maximum level of continuity.
70
Mike's in position.
71
Scene six.
72
Room tone.
73
Rolling.
74
Typically, a room tone recording should be about two minutes.
75
A sound department may also record wild takes after a scene is finished.
76
These are certain sounds from a scene that may be hard to recreate in post, but which are also difficult to capture during the scene.
77
This could be the sound of a prop, or even a short line of dialogue.
78
Of course, sound recording differs based on the location.
79
Let's look at best practices for recording interior sound.
80
Usually recording indoors means a recordist has more command over the sound around them.
81
Interior spaces typically have controllable noise, which refers to any noise that can be mitigated by the sound or locations department.
82
This could be the hum of a refrigerator or an HVAC system in a larger building.
83
The crew can often coordinate with the owners of the space to turn off or turn down these noises.
84
The size of the set will play a role in what microphone a mixer may choose.
85
As a general rule, shotguns with fewer ports, the ridges on the side of the microphone, are better for small spaces.
86
For larger spaces, more ports are ideal.
87
This is because ports are used to capture sound coming from the side of a shotgun and cancel it out using phasing,
88
where a sound wave cancels out a specific frequency.
89
Too many ports in too small a space may create an
90
unwanted phase effect since the subject's noise may hit the ports as well due to reverb.
91
Reverb is an important consideration for indoor settings.
92
Short for reverberation, the term refers to the persistence of sound after it is created.
93
is often most prevalent when a subject is surrounded by hard surfaces, which will bounce sound waves rather than absorb them.
94
A sound mixer typically will want to reduce reverb on set as much as possible.
95
Even if a scene may need reverb in the end...
96
Where is Harvey Dent?
97
...that is usually added by sound designers in post so that they may have more control over how it is employed.
98
Where is Harvey Dent?
99
To avoid reverb, a sound mixer will try and cover as much of the set as possible
100
in soft materials that will absorb sound.
101
They may coordinate with the art department to build carpets or curtains into a set.
102
But if that's not possible, they will employ Fernies.
103
Short for furniture pads, these are blankets made for dampening reverb.
104
Sometimes, however, reverb and echo can be utilized deliberately.
105
Mixer Amanda Becks explains her approach for a warehouse concert scene in Mike Mills' 20th Century Women.
106
When we text-outed it, it was an echo chamber, and I pointed out that it was going to sound like an echo chamber, even with bodies, the band was going to have a certain sound.
107
Mike was all about that.
108
Mike did not want it to sound like we were recording this band in the studio.
109
He wanted it to be the space.
110
Another tricky but common interior space is the car.
111
When recording in a vehicle, sound mixers have numerous unwanted noises to contend with and a limited space in which to hide mics.
112
A rule of thumb most mixers employ in cars is to have the microphone pointed away from the engine
113
so that they can avoid that noise as much as possible.
114
Often, mixers will hide laughs in a car's visors.
115
Sound mixer Stéphane Boucher explains furthering this technique for Lucy.
116
The idea was the sun visor, and I was thinking, what about buy a new sun visor,
117
exactly the same one, and then I'm going to destroy it, open it, put a mic inside,
118
close it again and put it in the car.
119
No, this is not possible, lady.
120
This is a police car.
121
Okay, okay.
122
Recording for interior locations requires ingenuity.
123
And so does recording exterior sound.
124
Often recording outside means having far less command over the sounds making their way onto the set.
125
These sounds are called uncontrollable noises and can include anything from a plane flying overhead to a gust of wind.
126
If an outdoor set is near a roadway, traffic sounds will also be a concern.
127
Sometimes this is a controllable noise through ITC,
128
or Intermittent Traffic Control, where the locations department halts the traffic when a take is in progress.
129
Wind is harder to halt.
130
To avoid wind noise, a recordist will usually employ a blimp or a dead cat.
131
A dead cat is a furry covering for a shotgun that cuts down wind from hitting the mic.
132
A blimp is another covering that protects a microphone even more.
133
But the more protection provided by a covering, the more the high frequencies risk getting reduced.
134
So a mixer will typically only use the amount of protection that is absolutely necessary.
135
Wind and other uncontrollable noises can also be mitigated through smart mic placement.
136
On a particularly gusty day, a boom operator may record from below an actor, pointing the shotgun up at them and avoiding the worst of the wind.
137
This is also true if a production is happening on a roof.
138
If there is traffic noise from below, pointing the shotgun upwards will avoid it.
139
A low-cut filter can also be employed to reduce the bass-heavy interference from wind or low hums from machinery.
140
Hi there.
141
How you doing?
142
Recording outside can also require contending with the elements.
143
In these instances, it's important to pay attention to how the equipment is faring.
144
Sound mixer Mark Ulano explains the steps he took when working in the bitter cold for the hateful eight.
145
You have to have a lot of redundancy because things will fail
146
and you have to be very aware of the impact if you work something in the cold, a piece of electronic gear, and then you bring it to a warm place there's going to be condensation inside.
147
So it's like a little rainstorm in your electronics that are designed to make it stop working at the worst possible moment.
148
So you don't do that.
149
You have a set of cold things, you have a set of warm things.
150
The elements can make their own noise too.
151
When dealing with rain, a mixer may use hogs air, fabric which can dampen the sound of droplets.
152
There is only so much a sound team can do for especially difficult settings.
153
The goal is to get usable sound even if it's not perfect.
154
It is one half of a movie, so don't skimp when it comes to capturing it on set.
155
Listen to your sound mixer, otherwise you may pay for it in post-production,
156
which we'll get into on our next episode, Post-Production Sound.
157
Good sound starts with good planning.
158
Get ahead of any audio surprises by using StudioBinder's pre-production software
159
and Take a look at the StudioBinder Academy channel for filmmaker interviews and in-depth tutorials on creating shot lists,
160
production documents, and more.
161
Until next time, keep your ears open.
162
What's that noise?
163
The mic's picking up her heartbeat.
164
Swell.
165
Thank you.

영화 사운드 녹음, 그 뒤의 이야기

이 비디오는 영화 제작에서 사운드 녹음의 중요성과 현장에서의 실제 과정을 다룹니다. 영화는 씬과 샷으로 구성되며, 사운드 팀은 촬영 전부터 노이즈 문제를 파악하고, 배우를 마이크로 착용시키며, 현장 환경에 맞게 적응하는 등의 복잡한 작업을 수행합니다. 이를 통해 우리는 전문가들의 이야기와 함께 영어로 기술적인 내용을 전달하는 방식을 학습할 수 있습니다.

일상 대화에 유용한 5가지 표현

  • "Can I have some quiet on the set?" - 촬영 현장에서 조용히 해달라는 표현으로, 비슷한 맥락에서 "Quiet on set"도 자주 사용됩니다.
  • "Roll sound" - 사운드 녹음을 시작하라는 지시어로, 영화 제작 용어입니다.
  • "Vocalize potential issues" - 잠재적인 문제를 말로 표현하다는 뜻으로, 의사소통에서 중요한 표현입니다.
  • "Expedite the shooting process" - 촬영 과정을 가속화하다는 뜻으로, 효율성을 강조할 때 사용됩니다.
  • "Sync footage and audio" - 영상과 사운드를 동기화하다는 뜻으로, 후반 작업에서 자주 등장하는 용어입니다.

비디오를 활용한 쉐도잉 가이드 (shadowspeak)

이 비디오는 기술적인 용어가 많고 말하는 속도가 다소 빠르기 때문에, 쉐도잉(영어 쉐도잉)을 할 때는 단계별로 접근하는 것이 좋습니다. 먼저 비디오를 여러 번 듣고 주요 용어와 문장 구조를 파악합니다. 그다음에는 짧은 구절부터 시작해 발음과 억양을 따라합니다. 특히 "vocalize", "expedite"와 같은 단어의 발음을 주의깊게 듣고 따라하며, 영어 발음 교정을 진행합니다.

쉐도잉을 할 때는 목소리의 높낮이와 강약을 잘 관찰해야 합니다. 예를 들어 "The last thing you can do is slow the train down"이라는 문장에서 "slow the train down" 부분은 강조되며, 억양이 내려갑니다. 이렇게 세부적인 부분까지 따라하면 영어 회화 연습에 큰 도움이 됩니다. 또한, 비디오에서 사용된 전문 용어를 일상 대화에서도 응용할 수 있도록 연습하면, 표현의 폭이 넓어집니다.

마지막으로, 반복적인 연습이 중요합니다. 같은 구절을 여러 번 반복하며 자신의 목소리와 원본을 비교해 차이점을 찾고 보정합니다. 이렇게 하면 shadow speak 기술이 점점 향상될 뿐만 아니라, 영어 듣기와 말하기 능력도 함께 발전할 수 있습니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
