The microphone is also called as a boom mic. Boom mics use fisher boom which is a specialized stand from which the operator controls the movement of the mic. They work as freelancers and report to the Production Sound Mixers.

They need to be aware of the script so that they can work accordingly. The most important responsibility of a boom operator is to never get the boom mic into the camera frame as it is considered to be bad film making skills.
