For people who are not familiar with the importance of the clapper: Tarantino uses real photographic and audio films in his movies, so video and audio are recorded on separate rolls. The clapper helps adjusting audio and video by syncing the claps at the beginning and the end of the take.

[@pablouribe8218]

Audio is always recorded separately from the video when making movies

[@NolanElias]

All major motion pictures use duel recording systems (use two different tools in recording instead of one) so that you can place microphones in specific places away from the camera for cleaner sound. For example, wireless lav mics cannot be connected to the camera for clean recording but to a dedicated sound mixer, can achieve a higher quality sound file than in camera. So that is why they use separate devices. A single system (sound goes into the camera) does work, but you won't achieve good sound. You can have a movie with rough visuals (Blair Witch Project is a good example) but I can't think of a movie that would work with a poor quality of sound.

Hr Gwea its for coverage; lets say scene 28 has two people talking. they film 28A on one person talking, then film 28B on the other person. 28C could be a shot with both of them, and so on. if your shots are really complex and have multiple parts, you might make letters for a shot that already has letters. sorry if this explanation isn’t great lol, just google “camera coverage” if you wanna learn more

I know this is a 10 year old post I am replying to, but I still think people should know this because this vidoo just popped up on my recommendations today .Her name is Geraldine Brezca, and Tarantino has used her in a ton of his movies, Starting with Jackie Brown and all the way up to Django Unchained. She started off as a Camera Loader, but the role she is filling in this clip is known as a Clapper or Clap Loader or Clapperboard Operator. She is a member of SAG and gets a credit in the films she works on. She doesn't have any credits that I can find after she directed and produced her own film in 2013, so I am not sure what happened to her.

Christoph Waltz's reaction caught me by surprise and made me laugh.

[@dorkmax7073]

What's going on: The clapper is to help the editor (Hi sally). The clap is to help them synchronize audio and video, and the annotations help her identify the specific part of the raw footage. By using words to recite their letters, the letters won't be confused with similar sounding ones. Our person clapping also happens to be filling this thing with inside jokes. "Feet essential" because of Tarantino's obession with foot shots. "Genius" because Tarantino often says this after a successful take

The letters signify the shot name. For example the first shot in scene 2 is just called 2 then the take (how many times that shot is…shot) when you move onto a different shot in the scene for example a close up the shot is named 2A then the take number. The A is called Apple, or alpha etc. when you see double letters that may be the 27th shot in the scene on how the director has covered the scene.

All the scenes where you can see the actors faces are prefixed with "A" in the Roll number. Scenes of hands or feet are "C" or "D". I didn't see any B-rolls. B's are most likely scenery shots without any actors so didn't make this cut.

[@davidtebby5179]

More commonly it's to avoid confusion with certain scene numbers. It's not a big deal if you're shooting scene 25, for example... your shot numbers on the slate would read 25A, 25B, 25C and so on. But when you have script rewrites, it's very common to have scenes numbered 24, 25, 25A, 25B, 26, 26A, 27, etc... which would make the numbers on the slate potentially confusing. So scene 25A would be written as A25 on the slate, allowing you to use your shot numbering as usual.

[@BBop2468]

@lukassnakeman there is a point to the clapper. When you're shooting film (as apposed to digital video) the sound is recorded separately from the visuals recorded on the film itself- so the clapper helps the editor to sync up the audio by matching up the clapping sound to the image AND it also allows the editor to stay organized and easily tell what scene, camera, and take they're looking at, which is why it's often used even when shooting video as well.

[@gjk2012]

His buddy Harvey Weinstein was there.

[@aliensoup2420]

Not sure if this was not done specially for this director. I worked on many shows since the early 90's, and standard practice is that the sound recordist pre-slates the takes before the roll. Then the camera assistant only announces "marker" for the slate. This avoids any mistakes or mis-commication between camera and sound. It also saves tons of film and $$, since a long scene ID could take several seconds to announce. It is the script supervisor's job to choose the take letters, then pass it on to camera and sound.

I imagine a lot of people don't even know what the clipboard is for. There was a type, pre digital (which Tarantino still refuses to use), when the sound tape and the film are two different recording devices, so when you get into the editing room, the visual of the clip board combined with the snap allows you to line up the audio reel with the video reel...otherwise editing would be hell.
