I want your help as I am planning to do a documentary on a Indian classical Vocalist. This lady is 78 yrs old. I would be interviewing her in her house. During the interview she is likely to sing and explain the nuances between some ragas. And may also interview one or two of her peers/juniors to ask about her. The interview will be conducted by a researcher.
Can you suggest an approach?
I have the following: MKH 416, Sennheiser ew100G3, DPA 4060, Rode VideoMicX stereo, SD 702T
Will be shooting in Canon Cinema C300 and a EOS 1DX Mark II. I can plug in a juicedlink to the 1DX Mark II and attach XLR microphone. I would like to use the sound recorded to the SD 702T as the primary track.
C300 has XLR ports and is a regular cinema camera. 1DX II is a DSLR and doesn't have XLR ports. I will be using the 1DX II for additional shots and hoping to put the Rode on it so that I can sync the files easily.
I am not sure about the acoustics, nor do I know how noisy is her house. In India, not many houses are sound proof and you can hear lot of traffic sounds in the house. Don't know if MKH 416 would be a good idea in terms of acoustics but may help in directionality. At the moment there is no money in this. Will be shooting this as a purely social project and hopefully it will get picked up by some channel. So suggest me anything that needs to be got and I will rent/buy as feasible. Will try to find a local sound guy for support but equipment has to be taken to that remote location and I have to be clear about the approach. Look forward to all your suggestions including any links that I may need to check.
