Camera's

On Tuesday we worked with the video camera's. In my group there are four people. Brandon McClure, Donielle Miller, Bryan Weed, and myself. Our assignment was for each of us to say our names, once with a microphone and once with out the microphone, for a total of eight names. Everything went smoothly except for in the very beginning when Brandon and I were saying our names in the microphone, we didn't have the microphone on. Then finally Donielle noticed that it wasn't on. In conclusion, making sure the microphone is on would be one of the things we need to work on. One thing we learned how to do was how to edit. We had some unexpected film of Brandon on our tape, which needed to be edited out. Bryan taught me how to do that.

A UNIDIRECTIONAL microphone is: (normally used with a microphone). Picks up only the given sound.
A OMNIDIRECTIONAL microphone is: Picking up all sounds from all directions, as the name implies.
The difference is the unidirectional normally picks up only the sounds you want it to, while the omnidirectional picks up almost all of the sounds that surround you. This makes a big difference because if you are doing an interview or something major like that, then you should have the unidirectional microphone, to just capture the sound that you want it to capture and not all of the background sounds to make the interview sound horrible.
