Tips for Slating
•
The sync mark is a sharp loud noise that lasts for one frame of video.
•
A proper slate, two pieces of wood or a hand clap will suffice.
•
Make sure the slate is in the frame so that you can clearly see the point of
contact. This is your visual reference for slating. A proper slate will also allow you
to visually identify the shot and take.
•
Start recording on the camera and the audio device before you make the sync
mark and announce the shot you are about to record (what is written on the
slate). Right before you bring down the slate, say “mark”. This is to distinguish the
sound from any other random sharp noise.
•
You can slate at the end of a shot if the camera framing is too tight at the
beginning. In this case the slate is usually held upside down. You can clap your
hands upside down, if you want to.
