Hello All,
Im a Newbie with Canon xha1,
I will be shooting a travel adventure video with the style like "5 takes" travel show. Filming in a car, on a boat, walking stairs, etc. Some interviews on indivduals. Minimal amount of some goup interviews. Not more than 3 people in a group interview. Boom will not work for the style of shoot. Need an external mic for camera. I was thinking cardoid is the way to go as opposed to shotgun. I realise shotgun is not good for indoors but it will be minimal shooting indoors. Will shotgun pickup more camera noise as opposed to cardoid? I realise that I will have to be more exact "right on" with the pointing of the shotgun mic on the subject. PLEASE advise if im on the right tract or PLEASE steer me the right way.
Have a budget of $1,000 including shock mount and winshield. Also any suggestions for specific audio hardware Rode, Sennsheier etc...
Thanks all.
