We all strive for beautiful pictures in our films, but these can vary greatly depending on the subject, shooting environment, camera quality, etc… While we can’t always control these things, it IS possible to control the audio, especially when filming someone speaking into the camera.

Even though most video cameras contain an external microphone, for the best audio quality, a professional external microphone or lapel mic should be used (a must if you’re shooting with a DSLR).

Among other things, the lapel mic is critical to help prevent wind sheer outdoors and to reduce echos when filming indoors (this is what happens when you use the built in microphone).

Here are two great options for enhanced audio:

External - The Rhode Video Mic

Lapel - Sony ECM – 44B
