Search for many of the videos on YouTube and other video sharing sites, is a lesson on how to create a video – in particular with regard to the sound. Here's how to avoid falling into the trap of sounding like you're turning into a bucket.

The built-in microphone, which comes with the camera has an advantage: it does not cost anything extra! But it is very basic and used only for close-up work. This is because it is a"omni-directional microphone. Simply put, this means that picks up sound from all directions. So if you're videoing further away from the camera only a few meters (60 cm), not only their voices can become weaker, the farther they are, but – at the same time – the microphone will increase for an increasing amount of other sound effects. This includes the reflected sound of the voice recording, bouncing off the walls, leading to the echoes, "in abucket effect '.

The solution is to copy what the professionals do – but without spending big dollars as they do! The technique, which can get a video in a reasonable distance from the talent, but still record a decent quality sound, called "near mikeing. It seems very big, but simply because a separate microphone for a long, connects to the sound of the camera. In this way the microphone close enough talent to record well – even ifis omnidirectional, while the camera long enough to display on their nose!

Obviously, the better the quality of the microphone, the best sound quality and you can get. I often use a lapel microphone Sony, which only cost about $ 10 min, still an acceptable result for the video website YouTube and entertainment. A lavalier microphone from Radio Shack offers better quality and less likely to take roar when attached to your clothes and walk about $ 50, with the longJournal and a battery line.

If the aim is to produce high-quality video – even on DVD – you should consider a condenser microphone, which "directional" or "uni – directional" – the collection only the sound direction is wise. This translates into a much higher quality of sound you want, and removing unwanted noise from other directions. Runs about $ 300 and up, although it may be cheaper on eBay.

Almost allMikes video external batteries, so be sure to change before you start recording and remember to switch off when finished. Always keep a spare battery.
