Film Set(Room Tone)

What does a silent room sound like? Not silence. Having an audio recording of what a room sounds like when nobody is talking will make your pauses sound more natural than if there's just empty space in the audio track. 

Do you ever record room tone?

What It Is.

-The term'Room Tone'means the sound of an empty room,or a room in which all the actors are standing silently.


-Its purpose is to replicate the scene's exact background noise to use a clean audio track in post production for sound continuity.


How It Is Achieved.

-Typically,at the end of shooting a scene,the cast and crew will stand slient for a few moments while the room tone is recoded.

-The sound team on set will usaly get a minute long audio recoding of the location's atmosphere.
