I have one of those pocket camcorders. I use it to record videos. I want it to record the audio of my friend talking a few meters away from the camcorder. Obviously, it can’t pick up clear sound a few meters away. Is there a way that the camcorder can pick up my friend’s voice?

Note: My camera does not have a mic input
Also note: I don’t want to go through the process of recording using an audio recorder and adding the voice later during editing

 

Should i shoot with 2 camcorders or 1 camcorder and a microphone?

hey guys im a 15 year old film maker and i wanna ask whether i should shoot with 2 identical cameras or use one really good camera (ie:canon hv20) and a microphone. My purpose is to edit a scene smoothly and i think the only way to do it right is by using 2 cameras. but im afraid that using 2 different cameras will cause different audio levels in the two videos.

So can anyone give me a solution?
