The purpose of slating is to help the editor sync sound. It is important because this helps the editor visually by seeing the slate close and he can hear the slate close. It's a good idea to name the slate the number of the scene and a letter. The letter should have an easy and simple word for it. Don't slam the slate so close to the talent. This will take the actor out of character. Also, if you don't have a slate you can slap your hands together. Only your hands, not your head, leg, or chest. I've learned plenty from this video. I don't have a slate, however I will use my hands until I get one.
