A '''clapperboard''' — sometimes called a '''clapper''', '''slate''', '''sticks''', '''time slate''', '''marker''' or one of several other names — is an important part of the camera department's toolbox used during [[principal photography]]. It has several different functions. The information written on it helps to organise the use of the filmed material in [[post-production]]. It also synchronises sound and picture recording by providing an absolute visual and auditory reference point that marks the very beginning of a particular camera's attempt to capture a scene or scene-part. | A '''clapperboard''' — sometimes called a '''clapper''', '''slate''', '''sticks''', '''time slate''', '''marker''' or one of several other names — is an important part of the camera department's toolbox used during [[principal photography]].
