Reply to comment by nightfly19 in TIL, in film, a clapperboard’s purpose is ensuring proper synchronization of audio and video in post-production. It provides a distinct “clap” along with a visual event for the editor to reference at the start of a scene. by PianoCharged
generally speaking, if you get drift over the course of a single take either the camera or the sound recorder need repair. That, or someone screwed up the base time code settings (say the camera is set to 24fps for theatrical but the sound is set to 23.976 for tv), but if that happens on a professional set boy is someone getting yelled at. quite possibly fired.
