Sound equipment with camerawork

With the Canon XF100 camera, we hooked up the Zoom H4N by using a XLR cable. The reason why we did this is because we wanted to use shotgun mic whilst trying to capture video and sound at the same time. This will save time in post-production if you don't have enough to edit a project quickly. This technique is usually used for interviews, television events etc.

We got introduced to wireless 'radio' mics and how to set them up by using a receiver. We were told how set up the two devices and how to attach the mic onto the contributors correctly with consideration.
