Just before a film, or interview or whatever starts, there is a little machine called a “clapperboard” where someone says “3…2…1… action” and slams down the top 1/4 of the thing to the rest of it. What is it used for? It also has numbers on it and I guess indicates timing. What is the point of it?

So editors can sync the sound of the ‘clap’ with the visual of the board closing, so all the following sound is in sync.
