15. SFX SPOTTING SESSION Careful notes (see SFX Spotting log) are taken at the spotting session to generate a SFX cue sheet The cue sheet guides future sound effects development, editing, and synchronization efforts and promotes continuity throughout the soundtrack

17. FIELD RECORDING allows the recordist to capture sound in its narrative environment as experienced by a character on- screen

18. TOOLS FOR FIELD RECORDING

19. FIELD RECORDER Multichannel recorders used in conjunction with six or more different microphones placed at various points to capture an object or event from a multiple- microphone perspective

20. FIELD MICROPHONES Microphones are to a recordist what lenses are to a photographer

21. FIELD ACCESSORIES assist the recordist in overcoming many of problems connected to unwanted extraneous sound

22. FIELD ACCESSORIES WINDSOCK improves the quality of the signal by slowing down air movement near the capsule, reducing distortion causes by wind.

23. FIELD ACCESSORIES PISTOL GRIP & SHOCK MOUNT used to isolate the microphone from unwanted vibrations caused by movement or handling

24. FIELD ACCESSORIES BOOM POLES thin and lightweight and can be varied in length to extend the recordist’s reach. They allow the recordist to follow the movements of a sound object without changing perspective
