I recently wrapped up field recording for an exciting feature film project. I began writing about that when a thought struck me: the craft of field recording is radically different, depending on the project.
Now, that may seem obvious. But the difference between regular field recording and capturing sound clips for films is so drastic that it seems like a separate craft entirely.
I wrote about the difference between field recording styles before. My book, Field Recording: From Research to Wrap talks about capturing sound for a specific audience. This is something else.
So, today’s post is a brief introduction to field recording for feature films. I’ll explain what’s different, and share ideas for approaching your own shoots.
I’ll write about my recent feature film recording experience next week.
