Create a radio mic
Capture clear sound from a distance using your iphone
Digital cameras can capture great quality video, but your programmes can be let down when it comes to recording sound. If you record a subject’s voice close to the camera then they will sound clear enough, but if you shoot them from a distance then their voice may be drowned out by other location sounds, or obscured by wind noise. Professional film makers use a radio mic to transmit their subject’s voice to a receiver. You can reproduce the radio mic effect by recording your subject’s voice on an iphone via the in-ear headphone’s mic. This enables people to wander freely and at a distance from your video camera and still be heard. You can then replace the camcorder’s poor quality sound with a cleaner and clearer iphone audio recording in imovie.
