Choosing between two microphones

Our script states that there is some dialogue in our short film so however limited the dialogue is it is still extremely important that what is said can actually be heard. So, we have to use an audio device.



This 'R0DE' mic was used within the indoor scenes, It's able to record sound to an
 'above average' quality, and we felt it would be optimal for indoor conversations
 and general sound. After recording a few scenes we discovered that the mic was
slightly faulty, as it was only using the left mic instead of the dual microphones,
making the audio very jarring as it jumped from stereo sound to single left speaker.
As this issue became persistent we decided to swap microphones for a more advanced
one that did not have issues with picking up sound from both mics. 

The "Zoom H2 Handy Recorder" is the most effective mic/sound recorder at
 our disposal. It is able to detect sound from far away distance and in high quality. The only
 issue was that for outdoor shooting there was no windshield which meant that changes in wind
direction were picked up extremely well. To overcome this we creating a mock windshield,
in which we protected the microphone using a scarf. This helped us reduce the amount
of wind picked up, therefore eliminating interference. We used this for most of our
camera shots as most of our shots were filmed from a distance so we needed
 something to pick up sound from far rather than the ambient sound from the outside.
We also planned to use it for our monologue recording.
