In the sound industry there is a lot of different job roles. Here are a few:
A Sound Recordist
A sound recordist is the one with the big boom pole and headphones. Their job to record clean audio. They record sound on location.
Sound Mixer
A sound mixer is a person who does the post production. Sound mixers are responsible for getting the best real-time recording of a live action scene as possible.
A Foley Artist is someone who creates sounds in a studio to mimic or represent sounds within production. They use lots of different objects and have to be very creative to get the right sounds. They do the whole film of sounds. From characters footsteps to props to horse noises. They do every single sound. This sound obviously isn't all going to be used. It's more of a backup if the real-time sound isn't what the sound mixer wants.
A composer/score writer is a person who adds the music to the production.
Sound designer
A sound designer is in total control of the sound for any production, they will come up with sound that needs recording. They basically design the entire sound for production. This is a very big job.
When filming a production you need to record a lot of sound. Here are a list of a few:
Dialogue - Individuals, Groups.
Background/Atmosphere - Animate (Moving), Inanimate (Not moving)
SFX(Not special effects) - Foley, Real world
Video about sound:
Sync sound needs to be synced with the video. Action is also sync sound.
Non sync sound doesn't need to be synced up to make sense

Shotgun microphone

Good start on the notes. Now you just need to flesh them out to show your understanding - maybe give a definition of the new terminology you learned today.
