The power of audio: The neglected half of the video equation
In the race to have video a part of online news gathering, the one thing that can be even more important than the visuals is often overlooked – audio.
Anyone can record noise. This session aims to teach people how to collect and use audio effectively.
Clean audio is critical for viewers to absorb what’s said in a video. Bad or difficult-to-understand sound will quickly turn them off. Viewers can be more forgiving of inferior image quality, as long as the sound is solid.
Good location sound is also an incredible source of atmosphere and emotion when used properly in post-production/editing. Knowing how audio can be used subtly to enhance the story will elevate your videos to the next level.
Using his 20+ years experience in broadcast and online video production, Patrick Dell will demonstrate strategies and technology solutions to respond to real-world scenarios where capturing good audio can be a challenge.
He will also demonstrate straightforward editing and sound mixing concepts that will make the best use of sound as part of a complete video package.
