What term describes elements of audio production done outside of filming?

• A. Wild
• B. Main Clock
• C. Wordclock
• D. Telecine

Answer: (A)

Recording audio separately from the shoot is called a wild track. This term covers ambience, effects, or dialogue captured outside the synchronized filming, which you then mix with the picture in post. The key idea is that it isn’t tied to the exact frame timing, giving you flexibility to shape the sound in post. Telecine refers to transferring film to video, not how audio is captured; Wordclock and Main Clock are timing references for digital gear, also not about capturing audio off-camera. So the best term for audio elements created outside of filming is wild.
