So I will be recording this video where I am talking into the camera trying to explain a mathematical concept. Me sitting indoors (not moving) will comprise the majority of the video however I may also go out and have few short segments outdoors where I am speaking too. Now I do not have a very large budget for audio (like $80 perhaps) and I wanted to make the most for the buck.
First of all I am thinking of buying a shotgun microphone and before anyone goes off at me telling why that's a mistake I wont be mounting it on my camera, instead I will have it on a microphone stand and placing the microphone stand just outside of the field of view of the camera. The microphone will then be connected into the recording camera (nikon DSLR) or to my phone (which option is better?). Im not thinking of buying an audio recorder because is there really a difference between phones and like a $30 audio recorder? Then for the outdoor scenes I was thinking of using a clip on microphone.
Here is a list of devices I thought to buy
Neewer 14.17inch microphone for $28
Neewer(R) 14.17inch / 36cm Professional Camera: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
ReaseJoy Tripod for $17
ReaseJoy Lightweight Foldable Microphone Tripod Height Adjustable Stand & Boom Arm & 2 Mic Clips Black: Amazon.co.uk: Musical Instruments
Clip on Microphone, Seacue 3.5mm for $13
Clip on Microphone, Seacue 3.5mm Lavalier Lapel Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone for iPhone & Android Smartphones or any other mobile device: Amazon.co.uk: Musical Instruments
What do u guys think? I may be wrong in every decision so please comment. Should I buy a cheap audio recorder? if not should I connect my phone to my camera or my phone? Is a shotgun mic the correct choice if i want a mic close to me but still out of the field of view of the camera?
P.S. im in Europe so im using amazon.co.uk
