A boom operator is an assistant of the sound production. The responsibility of the boom operator is microphone placement. The boom operator can also attach wireless microphones to the actors anyone whose voice requires recording.
The boom operator must decide where to place the boom microphone based on the location and projection of any dialogue, the framing position and whereabouts of the camera, the lighting, avoiding all shadows, and any unwanted noise sources.
During the making of October Sands I found that working on film sets can be the most amazing feeling and there's a lot of job satisfaction when you see the finished production, however the hours can be long and hard. Boom operating demands a lot of ones time and therefore it would benefit the boom operator if he/she was was patient. The current film industry demands a lot of your time and you have to be willing to persevere.
