Hey, what's up guys, it's Jay. I'm Jay and Jay and I'm Jay and I'm here today to tell you how to use a clapperboard. One take one. Just a quick dip before you start. Don't just get a random crew member to the board because you're going to end up with the operator saying market and that crew member is going to be doing other duties when you need him. So use a proper loader or a second easy. Scene 2, take 2. So let's start by labeling the board. We have the production name here. We got the scene number, the slate number, which should start at 1 and go up every time the camera position or lens is changed. The take number, which should go up every time the camera stops rolling. Then you have the raw number or memory card number. Here you have the director and the OP's names, which in this case is the same. The date, I don't have to explain that one. Your frame is per second and if you use any filters you might be shooting interiors or exteriors and then if it's day or night. So the clapper loader should always have the board ready. Where's the board? Oh man, got it. And should have checked which lens has been used and found a position where the slate is fully in frame. A torch might be required if it's too dark or set. So once everything is ready, it goes something like this. Silence the set please. Sound. Yet sound is running. And camera, camera rolling. Market. 5 take 1. And action. So all you have to slate and take needs to be announced. 5 take 1. 9 take 3. 11 take 7. Don't forget to clap nice and cleanly to get sharp click. It's just easier to sync. If you need to clap a second time, just say second sticks, slate 5 take 1. Well the director might say, always perfect. But let's just go for another take from that part, you say, I love you. So the take number should still go up, but you should call it a pick up. Slate 5 take 1 pick up. Sometimes you clap but the camera stops before the action. In this case, the take remains the same, but you add AFS. AFS stands for after falls start. And you market like slate 21 take 4 AFS. It might happen no recording sound in some of the takes. And if that's the case, we call it MOS, which means mute of sound. You don't clap it, you don't slate it, you don't say take or anything. So you shut your mouth and simply hold the board so the editor can see it. And you should hold the board with your fingers between the sticks like this. You have a sometimes not practical to put the clap aboard in the beginning, because of these, because of that, because of something, because of whatever. That is fine, that is fine, that is no problem. So in that case, the operator announces end board instead of market. Well the director might say, cut. So hopefully the sound guy in the operator will remember not to cut so he can get the board and end board. So the clap below this should then hold it upside down. Take 4 and board. Now camera and sound can cut. Thanks for watching my videos. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button down here. And if you like what I just seen, feel free to share it.
