Never record audio with a microphone that has a mini jack. Use Balanced XLR microphone, mini jacks have more chance of you recording electronic sound. Make the audio peak at about -12dB because if it peaks at 0 then it will clip.

Wear Headphones - The meter you are using will not be able to pick up on any Background noise like wind/ a distant airplane however if you are using headphones you will be able to hear it.
Tell your actors how the audio is being captured - You should tell your actors how the audio is being recorded because if you are using a boom then you will want them to project their voices towards the microphone.
The best way to capture audio in film is in a close up because the boom operator has more room to get closer to the actor.
A shotgun microphone is directional so it will only pick up the audio that it is pointing at.
A lavalier microphone (clip on) is omnidirectional this means that it picks up audio from all around.
