Sync and Video : Working with Field Recorders in Pro Tools : Film Workflow : Shooting (Film Workflow)

Shooting (Film Workflow)
1 Shooting proceeds as follows:
*   
*   
One or more field recorders begin recording. The production sound mixer has designated one or two channels as a production sound mix, which is a consolidation of one or more channels in each multichannel recording.
2 During shooting, the following timecode information is captured:
*   
The camera captures images to film, each frame of which is embedded during manufacturing with a unique identifying timecode position known as keycode.
*   
One or more field recorders simultaneously make multichannel recordings that are embedded with SMPTE timecode based on time of day (or longitudinal timecode).
3 During shooting, the following information is noted:
*   
The camera assistant keeps a written record (called a shootlist) documenting each scene and take with a corresponding keycode position.
*   
The production sound mixer also keeps a written record (also called a sound log) documenting each scene and take with a corresponding timecode position.
4 The slate operator claps the slate to indicate the beginning of the take. The field recorder records the audio of the clap, and the film camera captures the following images:
*   
*   
*   
5 Shooting ends and the take is complete.
