Guided tour documentary

Recommended Posts

 

Heya! I mainly do narrative work. I will in the upcoming weekend record the sound for a documentary who is following a guided tour around. How would you go about this? How active booming would you do? As much as I would love to almoust scratch the frame line of the camera and get a close sound, maybe it can also be distracting for participants? I think we will manage to have a lav on the main speaker.

 

As for equipment choice I am leaning towards a MS rig with a shotgun. Any comments there?

Hi Mattias, I had a doc shoot last year with guided tour as well. 

For the shoot we only needed to get the voice of the guide so I laved him up with a little lower gain because the guides tend to speak with a loud voice. 

I followed the group with my boom, depending on camera position but I'm pretty sure they used almost lav only with a bit of MS for ambience. 

All the best!
