Separate mic as opposed to the built-in mic
Built-in mic
pros.
- Always at hand
- No separate equipment needed
- No extra person needed.
cons.
- Picks up all sounds of camera (focusing)
- Picks up all sounds from the cameraman
- Sound quality
- poor stereo separation
- noise
- poor intelligibility
separate mic
One or more separate mics can cancel all cons mentioned above.
Professionals use separate mics with a separate mixer and recorder. Only during editing the sound is added to the footage.
With this method however, the advantages of the built-in mic are lost.
Best of both worlds
Use a separate shotgun mic mounted on the camera.
- Less unwanted sounds of the camera and cameraman
- Better sound quality than the built-in mic.
