microphones are thort off as just used on stage for acktors and singers but there not they are used in all sorts off places you would not ecspect like your day to day telephone or on your camara on your phone so when recording you can hear voice or on your computer . micraphones are a very powerfull pice off equitment but they have weaknesses like Directionality,Frequency Response ,Impedance ,Handling Noise. when you have got your canmara  ready to use you have to position it right so you can pick up the sound well but then you do not want ot to close to pick upi a to loud sound .

when makeing a film it is crutial to make a edit it to make it more uderstanderball and you can also make it sertain things look better or more real .editiing is used to creat meaning and a structure to your film . by editing you can change the colour or swap sence about you can just about make change your hole film . A good editor should be able to make a mood in his film by the music or the acktors factial exspretions , you can add axtra elements to your film .Editing is a very important part off a film .

|This lesson i have lerned abut editing , liniear editing is about timeing geting from place to place in time and makeing sense non linear is not about timeing it still functions in sence . Editing is a rearanged of shots  to make a sequence .montages lots of different shots put to gether quicly .

EWS (Extreme Wide Shot) = this type off shot is a reallt wide shot off the surrounded aera  and the main fous in with the back ground .

MCU (Medium Close Up) = the main focus is the head and a little bit off the sholders .you do not cut the shot off at th limbs becouse the shot would look odd just a head and shoulders so you do it just bellow the shoulders

CU (Close Up)= it a close up off a srtain oject for ecample the face it is facused on the hole face so you can only see that and a lttle back ground that is round the head .

Although many modern cameras come with automatic settings, these are usually insufficient when working in film proffessionally. There are a few manual functions that even amateur camerapersons should be familiar with.

Zoom, although a manual feature, should be avoided by amateur camerapersons. It is unreliable and will often turn out badly.

Focus, when used automatically will often focus on the wrong subject in the shot. Using the manual settings will allow you to focus on the subject that was chosen in your planning/storyboards.

Other functionhs, such as white balance, exposure, audio and effects will have similar consequences when using automatic settings. Manual settings should be chosen every time.

There are five key elements to planning a shoot; Who, What, When, Where and Why.

If these elements are not included the shoot will be unclear and confusing to the viewer. When one plans a shoot one should always plan very carefully and clearly to avoid any confusion between the filming crew and to stop any time and money being wasted.

Film plans can also often include a script so that the actors/cast will know what to say. Improvisation may be acceptable on stage occasionally but it is never good enough when filming. Everything should be preordained.

A storyboard is a plan used to design what a final product, be it film, piece of writing, photograph or image will look like. A storyboard must contain a few crucial features. These include:

A rationale or brief statement of what the product will be.

Any assumed knowledge on what the product will be.

A visual representation of the screen layout.

Any underlying data or information that you would need in order to produce the final copy.

Ideally, any resources, such as images or video, to be included.

Without these the storyboard would be ineffective.
