Waching daily Jan 5 2019

Express Sport revealed in December that Chelsea are confident of wrapping up a deal for hot-shot Wilson this month

And, while Eddie Howe has insisted the move will not happen, the Bournemouth boss has now added a ready-made replacement to his ranks

The Cherries snapped up Solanke on a permanent basis on Friday, with Liverpool receiving an initial £19m for the striker

And bookmakers Betway have reacted to that switch being finalised and the flurry of bets which followed by cutting the odds on Wilson heading to Chelsea

The chances of a deal happening before the end of the January transfer window have gone from 9/4 to 6/5

Bournemouth have splashed the cash on Dominic Solanke and we've seen plenty of support for Callum Wilson to leave the Vitality Stadium as a result," Betway's Alan Alger said

He's now just 6/5 to join Chelsea in the January transfer window, with Maurizio Sarri keen to bolster his attacking options as he looks to cement his side's position in the top four

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has been forced to alternate between the unfancied Alvaro Morata, now-injured Olivier Giroud and winger Eden Hazard up front this season

And news of Solanke rocking up at Bournemouth as he chases Wilson will no doubt come as a boost as the Blues seek to follow up the signing of Christian Pulisic

Bournemouth remain an odds-on 4/6 to be Wilson's club when the transfer window closes on January 31st

And there is of course the chance Solanke may have been signed to replace Rangers-bound Jermain Defoe

Defoe is expected to link up with former England team-mate Steven Gerrard in an 18-month loan deal

However, Bournemouth are unlikely to just have Chelsea sniffing around Wilson this month

Everton, Manchester United and Leicester are priced up at 20/1, 20/1 and 33/1 respectively to nab the 26-year-old

Interest in Wilson has developed thanks to his ten goals and five assists in 23 appearances in all competitions this season

He will be eager to add to those tallies when Bournemouth face Brighton in the FA Cup third round on Saturday

Shotgun vs Lavalier Microphones: Which is better? - Duration: 5:00.

In this video let's take a look at when and in what situations to use a shotgun

and a lavalier microphone.

The two most common types of microphone you're going to come across and probably

use the most in terms of corporate video production: are shotgun microphones and

lavalier microphones. Now neither one is better than the other in general they are

are simply different tools for different situations.

Shotgun microphones are where many video makers start. In this case I'm using the

Rode NTG2, which is a shotgun microphone which does need quite a bit of gain but

it's probably the most common microphone in the film-making world, especially the

indie world. It has a very good directional sound with its cardioid

pickup pattern but doesn't completely reject any sound picked up from behind

it. If you have multiple people in an interview scenario, for example if you're

doing a scene where two people are talking but not at the same time then

you can move the boom between them just like in this clip here.

Pippa: This is my wedding day...

Josh: I know...and I'm so sorry.

Pippa: How?

Pippa: This can't...you can't have been in love with me all this time? It's not possible!

Josh: Trust me it is.

Pippa: No it's not. I was there. Remember?

Generally a shotgun microphone is better in harsh weather environments such as strong winds. As there are lots

of accessories for them; such as the dead cat and the blimp which shield them from the

wind. Some of the downsides though is that they are 99% of the time wired and

limited by the length of the XLR cable or boompole. So here I can't get any

further away from ten metres from the camera, as that's my longest cable. Also

if you're doing any kind of wide shot then getting the boom in close is going

to be problematic as you really need to get that mic as close to the talent as possible.

Now you might think that a wireless lavalier system will help solve a lot

of these problems and the answer is yes and no. A wireless microphone system like

the Rode Filmmaker Kit which is a bit bulky because it has the antenna in the

body itself - gets the microphone right onto the talent and as such you get a

sound that is very close to the talent. This wireless unit actually runs on the

2.4 gigahertz wireless spectrum as opposed to the AES encryption of the

Sennheiser AVX or the analog system of the G3'.s I've

never encountered a problem in an office environment with any interference but

this is just something you need to be aware of. Getting a shot light is just

simply isn't possible or practical when you're a solo camera operator. You don't

have time to set up a microphone stand and then mask it out later on, so a

wireless microphone system like this means that your talent is not limited by

where they can go this means they can walk around freely and indeed you don't

have to worry about what you're doing in terms of cables. All you've got to worry

about is if you're receiving any interference. Now a digital audio system

like the Rode Filmmaker Kit, you might be affected by wireless networks but it's

strong enough to jump between wireless network so it knows what the best signal

it's going to get. But a shot like that just simply isn't practical with a boom pole.

Unless it's a narrative film, I don't tend to get the opportunity to

hide a microphone. So instead, I just attach it using the mic clip and if I'm

filming outside I'll put on its wind protector. This isn't anywhere near as

strong in windy conditions as a blimp on a shotgun microphone but unless it's a

gale it does come in handy. If you do hide microphones underneath clothing

then you'll need to make sure you're not getting any of that horrible clothes

rustling. I use Rycote Undercovers which are very handy and you can also get Rode's

proprietary Invisilav but I personally prefer the Rycote Undercovers

because I work with a wide range of lav mics and the invisi lab is only really for the Rode lav.

Each microphone has its purpose and each microphone has its downsides as well but

it's really up to you how you decide to use them in your projects. I use both

shotgun and lavallier microphones every day - it just depends on the situation I'm faced with.
