Room tone

You might say: ambience, fill, presence, background noise

The sound of the recording space with no one speaking, laid under cuts and gaps so the background stays continuous.

What it does
Stops the background popping in and out between cuts.
Ask
Does the room sound the same in every gap?
Typical
Record a minute or more at the shoot. Pieces shorter than about 10 frames are hard to use.
Trouble
Background noise popping in and out at every cut.

What to look for

  1. The same faint background in every pause
  2. No drop to dead silence at a jump cut
