THE BOOM MICROPHONE | 4/10/18
Summarize 3 different key functions of a boom microphone that you picked up from this short video. What is one question you still have on how to operate a boom?
Some of the functions that were mentioned in the video was to study the script as well as the actors to learn the rhythm of the scene for correct mic placement. Another function is to rest the boom mic between your thumb and index finger, instead of grabbing onto the boom. A third function is to create an imaginary line to know where to keep the mic out of frame. And if there's a wire stretched along the cable, wrap it around your finger to keep it from hitting the boom and making unwanted audio.
