BLOG QUESTION ADV: RYLEE, GUEST SPEAKER REFLECTION

Refer to our guest speaker post about Rylee yesterday. Reflect on what you learned in her workshop. What did you enjoy about it? What did you find interesting? What do you want to learn more about? How can you implement this knowledge into your productions going forward?

I thought it was really neat meeting another women in the film industry who has a very hands-on and physically demanding job on set. I learned how to use a analog mixer, which was different than the digital ones we have in our class. She also had a slate with timecode on it, and she showed us how to sync it up with the mixer and how it would work along with a camera. I've always been curious about how those work, so it was nice to see it sync up in action. I want to learn more about the differences in analog and digital sound recording, and why one would choose on or the other. Now that I know how timecodes can be used in post-production to help sync up sound, I'd like to edit footage in the future that uses this instead of relying on the clap of the slate.
