Sound Unit Summary

After finishing the sound unit, I think its one of the units that I've learned the most from. One thing that I learned was the different types of microphones. Between dynamic, ribbon, and condenser, I've learned different things about each one and how they function. Another thing I learned is that Ribbon microphones are the most different when recording sound. A ribbon microphone records sound using a small, metal ribbon inside of the casing, making it more fragile than other microphones. One last thing that I learned about sound is the different devices used to record it. I learned that in order to have a proper sound set up, you'll need things like a mixer and a dedicated recorder. After finishing this unit, I'm prepared to learn more about using sound on set.
