Summarize 3 different key functions of a lavalier that you picked up from this short video. What is one question you still have on how to set up a lav?
Lavalier microphones are usually the standard mic people use to record themselves while filming. You simply clip it to your shirt, or tape it to your skin with medical tape. They're great for good audio, but you need to be careful, as they're sensitive, and if held too close to your mouth, the audio will distort, and it'll also pick up the rustling sound of clothes. You also have to use one lavalier per person. But, they're relatively easy to hide if you want to shoot a narrative film.
The only question I have, is what do you do if an actor isn't wearing clothing that you can pin or discreetly tape a lav to? What if the character turns around in the shot, so you cant attach anything to their back? Would you just do ADR for that shot?
