Microphone placement:
This is where the microphones are put on a set or on a person. There are three basic mic placements which are boom, plant and lavaliere. Boom is where the microphone is attached to a pole called a boompole and is suspended infront the subject. This allows movement from the actors. A plant is where any type of microphone is fixed in place. this is mainly used when it is impracticle to use a boom. Where the microphone is placed is important as they only pick up sound withi it's range. Lavaliere's are tiny mics worn by actors wither inside or outside their clothing. these are mainly used for interviews as they can be placed closed to the seakers mouth and it doesn't nessaccarly have to be hidden.

Sound Effects:
This is the sound that is added to an action to make it more realistic. For instance a door being slammed shut, whithout the sound effect it means nothing.
