Wild Sound and Room Tone

Wild Sound - Non-sync production audio

• Audio-only, no picture, can be done with audio cassette
• Same "production value" as sound with video, i.e. same requirement for director, cooperation from talent, quiet, etc.
• sed in editing/mixdown for off-camera dialog, effects
• Remember to slate!

Room Tone - Background sounds from scene

• A minute or two of the same environment as scene was shot in, but without dialog or effects.
• Used in editing/mixdown beneath replacement dialog or voice-over, etc.
