Typical Tasks & Terms in Production
Production – In my services, it includes video, television, film. Or other similar production sound mixing and recording. To produce is to make or create something, and in media production it is typically an audio recording with or without time code. Other production includes digital audio files with or without synced video. Including time code.
Location Sound: In production services that other professionals provide location sound the most common equipment. Used are microphones, a mixer or mixer / recorder combination, among other equipment to capture sound sources from various subjects. To a permanent recording. The person is called aproduction sound mixer (this link to an outside reference site) or sound recordist. (among other nicknames).
Location or Set – A set is a term commonly used in a feature or any other type of production, using cameras. And often lighting, sound, grip among other production equipment. A set can be a complex studio or faux location with artificial lighting as well, a green screen environment. Or an place created from a client’s resources or even a landscape.
The term set was commonly derived by setting or placing equipment together, a crew. other needed elements for a shot or series of shots called a scene or an entire production. I can refer locations in many Colorado cities, including multiple areas in Denver. Among other places or direct a crew or production to an area with many possible locations.
Sound Mixing and or Sound Recording – Mixing means combining and regulating audio or sound to acceptable recording levels. With a reference level in mind of a particular camera or recording device. Or editing platform or reference level for a live broadcast, several references.
A reference level is a unit of volume not to be exceeded. And to be ideally met in loudness or clearness in audio. Many reference levels have a tolerable threshold slightly above or below before over modulating (sound distortion) occurs. Or the audio is inaudible or distorted causing other problems if the audio peaks.
Sound recording is capturing sound / audio to a recording device with a desired reference level range. I also listen to a camera return when that option is available.
