We were taught about all the different mics we can use for our projects and the different polar patterns each have, which is the shape of sound the mic picks up.
The smaller fluffy mic is called a Rifle Mic and has a cardioid pattern. Which is basically a heart shaped sound range. We use these mics for one specific sound source i.e dialogue or sound effects, normally keeping a 2-3 ft distance away from the source.
The hand held mics have an omni pattern, which is a circle shaped, picking up all sounds around you, so should be used for atmosphere recordings.
The tiny mics are called Tie Clips, which are normally used in places like newsrooms, or for interviews where you can get away with them showing on camera.
However, we were also told about if you use two of the Tie Clip mics, you can make an effect called Binonaural, which is used to re-enact moments as if you were there, by putting them to you ears.
Hydrophones are used for recordings with water, as they're waterproof.
Contact Mics give a really detailed recording of surfaces and what's underneath.
I think all of these will be useful in our project and it'll be fun to experiment with different techniques.
