[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The most neglected element in television reporting is the sound track.The problem is illustrated by the fact that there are currently no specialised textbooks, or trainingcourses, on sound recording for television reporting, anywhere in the world. Textbooks that deal withtelevision reporting dedicate very little space to sound recordings.With the growing competition in television news, news teams are increasingly becoming smaller. It iscommon practice these days to have a news team consisting of only a cameraperson and a reporter. Thecameraperson is also responsible for the sound. Two television stations, namely NYl in New York andChannel One Television in England, have already dispensed with the cameraperson and send out only areporter.This dissertation addresses the above-mentioned problem by doing research on the sound equipment,recording techniques and production techniques that are useful for effective sound recordings duringsingle camera television reporting.Chapter two explains the functions of the different departments in a television station, as well as theduties of the staff.Chapter three explains basic television principles, terminology and equipment that the sound personuses daily and needs to understand to perform his work optimally.Chapterfour gives the basic terms that are needed to follow a conversation on sound recording. Termslike decibel, stereo and digital sound are explained. The chapter also covers basic electricity and soundequipment.Chapter five covers microphones under three headings, namely: electrical characteristics, acousticcharacteristics and microphone design. The chapter also covers associated equipment, explains thesound facilities on video cameras and gives a list of possible sound equipment that can be used during aproduction.Chapter six covers sound recordings, principles and techniques under the following headings:• Perspective and boom swinging, which deals with sound perspective and boom swinging.• Rigging of cables, which gives practical tips for laying cables inside and outside buildings.• Recording principles, which gives practical tips on sound recordings.• Interviews, which includes recording tips for television interviews and reporting.• Reporting, which covers reporting, media conferences and public events.• Commentary recordings, which deals with the preparation and recording of voice over.• Music recordings, which deals with instruments and bands, and suggests microphone positions.• Telephone lines, which covers the use of telephone lines for reporting.• Location reconnaissance, which gives practical tips on pre-production planning.• Guidelines for sound persons during productions, which concludes the chapter and thedissertation with practical tips on behaviour during local, foreign and/or dangerous productions.
