Hi, Simple titles can be used, static, moving or whatever, but the sound is key on events like this.
Wind is the first hurdle to overcome for most, although, in post (after the event), you will really run into difficulties if the sound is no good to start with. Sure, some $1000 programs 'may' be able to curtail 'some' of the wind, but its a very long shot and it is always better to try and get the best sound to start with I'm afraid. I believe you camera does have an external mic socket, so in future, if you can afford a little more (Christmas present maybe?!), a relatively cheap external mic can be bought with 'some' wind protection. One in circulation is the Nikon ME-1, I use one when out and about on my bridge Panasonic FZ-100, it cost only £100 and comes with a 'windjammer', or a 'dead cat', the fluffy thing you see the broadcasters use. Money well spent! Wind? Not a problem any more... I.E. what wind? That said, I use a cheap Hamnel that cost £35 with a £100 Rycote Windjammer, the type that engulfs the mic in its entirety and can be used in any situation up to where the camera cannot stand up on a tripod any longer :-) Another option is to get a relatively cheap Zoom recorder (an overpriced dictaphone) and use that (with suitable wind muffling) on or near the subject. The beauty of editing is, you can chose what audio to use with what video. It is always best to try and keep a constant level (adjustable in most Premiere products, if not all I believe). Keep a background 'ambiance' flowing in the background, even if you have to 'loop' it, with maybe a 'crossfade' on it at each start/finish, to make the viewer believe it is constant. You can always fade this out when wanted spoken words are needed to be heard. Most of the BBC guys over here start with a decent audio track first, then lay down the relevant video corresponding to the audio after. So, for an interview, you would obviously start with shots of the location(s), then have the first part of the 'live' interview and keep the audio running in the background, as you chop and change between different shots that pertain to the actual spoken words. Obviously, you can use as much or as little to do this, depending on how much footage you have. (I don't tend to edit this way too much, but of course, it depends on your personal preference. That's what makes us all unique!) The Nikon ME-1 is a superb mic for the money, maybe only for near field use, but at long ranges, it is totally devoid of any wind noise, so the volume can be cranked up to something useable at least. Cheers, Neil.
