clapperboards
Scene-take synchronization tools
Clapperboards are the hinged boards clapped together at the start of filming a scene.
The sharp clap synchronizes audio and video tracks, while the board displays scene and take numbers for editing reference.
The image of the clapperboard has become an icon of filmmaking: The director called action after the clapperboard snapped shut.
