Sound is on its way!

Today is the day I have ordered the equipment I will be using for the film opening. Being a broke teen, I went to Amazon to find an affordable Shotgun microphone (which I have spoken in depth about in this post).

                                                                                                                                                          Movo VXR4000R Directional Shotgun Condenser Video

Here it is, this compact microphone is $30, which really is quite a good deal considering what is currently on the market. It has great quality audio and is very easy to use which I feel is important to me knowing I've never worked with a microphone before. Additionally, I can just plug in right into my camera so no post syncing during editing is necessary (YAYYAY!). 








I have decided to not purchase a lavalier microphone for three reasons:
1) They are around the same price as the boom mic and do not have the range of features that a boom mic offers. 
2) I am probably not going to use it that much. Much conversations during are film are done in a closer range to the camera. 
3) I can just use my phone to capture long distance audio. Its a little downgrade quality wise, but I do not think its worth annoying my mom to purchase another piece of camera equipment. 

Below are some videos that I used to ultimately help me pick out the Movo VXR4000R. Enjoy :)
