Microphone interview

Our audio recordings as a whole were quite unorganised but we managed to catch a few that were quieter and more structured. We recorded it in room 131 but there was a lot of movement between the interviewer/ees and the recorder. Sound 1: There are times where it got too quiet and distant as I didn't hold the mic close enough whilst asking the questions but the sound was more consistent and clear for the people answering the questions as the mic was nearer. The movement of the recorder and people meant that the microphone picked up on sounds like clothes rustling and fuzzy background noise, along with tapping noise on the metal of the recorder. Contrast to this, we had a a recording that was extremely loud and very difficult to listen to due to the volume. 

Sound 2: The reason for this in the second audio is because I didn't realise the short distance from me to the recorder. Although it wasn't actually that close, it picked up on the sound frequencies very easily. We were also speaking quite loudly which added to the distortion, as did the scream at the end. 

When I get a chance to use the recorder again, I will decide to place the recorder in the middle of a medium level surface, like a desk. I will make sure not to touch the mic as it is recording and will add chairs to the table setup so people can stay in one place whilst recording. Doing this will improve the consistency of the sound quality and lessen the disruption and distortion.
