P.1 Research into Ambient and Dialogue recording

Ambient sound: is sounds that happens in the background, for example the ambient sound of a classroom would be other students chattering underneath the main voice in the room which is the teachers, it could also be the noise of clicking pens, or chairs sketching back and forth on the floor. This is important as it gives films a more realistic feel to it just by adding a little bit of more detail to the scene, and would make the environment of where the shot is taken will seem more natural than staged. A good example of this would be in "Catching Fire the Hunger Games" they went to the rainforest and recorded the sounds you could hear, also the ocean, and used that for ambient sound in the final film, so that it sounded natural when they where in the forest for the battle scenes.
                                    "Hard Cuts"- are ill advised to use in a film because they are happen suddenly, and it is believed that the film will be better when the sound leads to the next scene rather than just cuts, for example a forest to a city, it would be best to have the forest sound lead in and mix as a sound bridge rather than just cut and the city sound starts. The advantage or recording on location the sound will match up to the film and wouldn't have to rely or worry about matching up with  the sound library.

Recording Dialogue: is difficult recording to do as you have to match up the actors or actresses mouth when speaking, if you are dubbing over, you also have to make sure that the mic is at the right distance or the actors are not speaking loudly in mic, and it is clear and easily understood to the audience. When your intended recording make sure there's no background noise that doesn't fit you footage e.g if your footage is a forest you don't want a background noise of cars going passed while recoding. Things helpful to when recording is like: recording on location, and also at the same time you are speaking for example holding the mic next to the camera, because that way you get the exact sound to match the actors/actresses lip movement, and also it sounds professional because it has all the same ambient sound etc..  Looping comes in handy with ambient sounds as it can be played over and over again automatically. Shooting ambient noise is important when shooting a conversation this is because it makes the shot realistic and also adds some background to the conversation, and seems more natural to the audience.
