Your from Latvia?! Neat. I have friennds who work at the Latvian Embassy here in Beijing China.

To answer your question: It depends. Usually it is a mixture of off set recording and on set recording. Most hollywood movies, (If I remeber right) Have about 85 percent of DIALOGE recorded on set and the other 15% recorded in a studio. However, background noise/sound is almost always added in post production.

Is is important to note that: I am NOT A PROFFESIONAL film maker.

Interestingly enough, audio in video/film production can be one of the most diffcult aspects to produce cleanly, next to the visual of course. This probably comes from the primary focus being on the visual aspect of the medium. Surprisingly, the sound of a film is one of the most influential senses to the audience while watching the movie, again next to the visual.

So from this, it is highly recommended that you make the sound on your film as good as possible. This means investing in an external mic (e.g. boom, lapel) for your camera in order to capture the best possible sound. Also, if your camera has the capability, make sure you are monitoring the sound quality while you are shooting (headphones plugged into the camera).

In the long run, capturing the best quality sound when your shooting will save you time in not necessarily having to dub dialogue during post-production.

Actually, I'd say it's the most influential in many respects. It's far easier to get away with bad visuals (poorly lit, out of focus, low resolution, etc) than bad sound.

Recording bad sound is one of the most obvious problems with many of the low-budget shoots I've worked on: one DV feature I did camerawork on, for example, was edited about two years ago and has spent all the time since trying to get the soundtrack into a decent state.

Exactly my point too. Thanks MarkG. I merely say "one of the most" due to that influence depending on the audience; for people who are hearing-impaired the experience would be different. I'm simply giving clarification to my statement.
