During the shoot
Whist filming the shoot I got to be the boom operator this meant I was responsible for recoding and documenting the timestamps of the audio files. During filming I held a boom microphone and a four Channel DSLR Camera Audio Recorder to capture the clearest and good constant volume of noise. I Aimed to isolate the desired audio whilst trying not to capture unwanted environmental sounds.
