Dutch Angle, Over-the-Shoulder, Medium Shot, Wide Shot, Close-Up Shot

Why is sound so important to visual storytelling?

Sound can be used to set the mood of a scene and can completely alter the message of a visual

Name 2 or more advantages of using a boom pole and shotgun microphone:

Boom poles allow sound to be recorded clearly without equipment being caught in the shot, and shotgun microphones ensure that sound is only captured from the front, and background noise from the back and sides is tuned out

Where do we plug in the microphone to our cameras?

Into the audio jack

Why is it important to wear headphones while filming?

So that you can hear what the camera is recording
