Assignment 12.1

Microphones

Handheld- Mainly when I see Handhelds being used is by a musician at a concert or during an event like a convention where they are announcing upcoming events happening during the convention or during a raffle when they are announcing the winners. One of the main reasons for using them in these instances is that they have no cord that limits their distance from the audio controls or speakers. 
Lavalier- I mainly see these at church in the pulpit which is used by the pastor or staff. I do on occasion see these being used by street musicians and musicians at local bars. A main reason that this type is used is because of the fact that they can be used hands free. 
Shotgun- These are used in collecting audio when shooting interviews, promo videos, or in my personal experience shooting a low budget film. It's great for shooting videos in small rooms and also when you don't have enough mics for all the actors in the scene you are shooting.  
Boundary (or table) mic- These are mainly mounted on tables or walls. These mics are great for recording conferences with several people talking in the room. They can be used for recording in a theater, church, or during a concert.
