Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Film Science, language: English, abstract: This thesis describes the development of an interactive online tool which comprehensively informs production sound mixers about microphones and their proper application for professional dialogue recording on location. The first chapter contemplates the fundamental characteristics of the human voice as the primary sound source. The technical specifications of all used microphones are going to be introduced and their suitable deployment in different both typical and rare situations are being described in detail. An important part of the thesis is the creation of five short films in order to give a practical demonstration of all theoretical aspects. For presentation purposes a complex individually designed video player was built, using up-to-date HTML5 technology. The player allows the user to smoothly switch between multiple audio tracks while playing the video to gain an in-depth view of the function of the different microphones and their behavior. The thesis was made available for the web presence of Schoeps under the category "applications." It is the groundwork of a new resource for film sound; an ongoing and growing project with lots of different authors in the future.
