So after spending many days editing our documentary, the comparison of the sound from each of the 3 interviews are so different. Lorraine's interview sounded so good as we used the radio mic and it worked perfectly. However, when we recorded Sam's main interview we could not figure out why the radio mic would not work, after trying to figure out why for an hour, we gave up and decided to boom the interview. There is a clear difference in the sound quality, but we have to make the best with what we have!
When we returned the radio mic and told Simon about our problem, he quickly figured out that it was because the mic was on mute!!!!
Oh well, everything is a learning curve!!!!!!!!

Definitely a good lesson learnt here- sound is so crucial. You need to monitor the correct tracks to ensure that it is not distorted and that the levels are sufficient and, importantly, that the mic is not mute! You will need to address the sound as well as colour mix when you have finished your fine cut and get the best balance for both.
