Although poor sound when accompanied by pictures of the individual who’s talking helps us to function out what is being said, this isn’t any use if cutaway shots are employed during the dialogue, also you shouldn’t make your audience have to work hard to hear the words. This is where external microphones are required, the closer a microphone can get to the subject, the quieter other unwanted sounds successfully become.
