ABSTRACT
At Boston University our students shoot a ton of fi lm. We start with standard 16mm, when they’re learning, and then Super-16mm for advanced and thesis projects. We employ double-system recording techniques, where the fi lm camera records the image and a separate sound device records the dialog and other sounds. Our students then edit their projects in our Avid rooms, using the techniques outlined in this chapter. We will learn how to work with a fi lm lab and a telecine house to transfer your fi lm to videotape, and we will also go over sound issues involved in double-system shooting as well as all the steps involved in synching sound to picture.
