WHAT IS A CLAPPERBOARD?
In filmmaking and video production recording visuals and audio separately ensures higher quality recordings. However, as many budding filmmakers know, it’s incredibly tricky to synchronize separate picture and sound recordings. Well, there’s an elegant and simple solution which dates back to the beginning of Hollywood’s Golden age in the 1920’s. It is, of course, the iconic Clapperboard!
