Overview

Dual system sound is a motion picture technique of capturing sound on a separate device from the camera. The image and the soundtrack are synchronized during post-production using sync points that are typically accomplished using a clapper board.

It is critical that:

  • A sync point, or marker, is clearly recorded both visually and audibly at either the beginning or end of each shot
  • Both recording devices are using compatible record settings

Audio

Zoom Recorders

Record Format

  • 48 kHz / 24 bit *highest quality
  • 48 kHz / 16 bit

Microphones

  • Lavalier
  • Shotgun

Slating Procedures

  1. Director or AD calls for "quiet on the set" and then for "roll sound"
  2. Sound engineer will start recording and allow a few seconds of pre-roll before calling out "speed"
  3. Camera operator will commence recording and call out "speed"
  4. AC will be holding the slate that is clearly labeled with scene information in front of the camera and the clapper sticks open. AC will verbally state the slate information and call "marker" and close the sticks while holding this pose for a few seconds

Cameras

Use only the T2i model Canon Rebel

Record Format > 1920x1080 (30 fps)
