There are many ways you can film the dialogue and background noise at the location without the dialogue being affected.For example:
1. Having the right microphone and placing it in the right position helps keep the balance of ambient sound and dialogue.
2. Placing the microphone as close to the actor/s as you can so the dialogue would be louder than the background.
3. Re-shoot the scene multiple times.
4. Use an external mic rather than the microphone on the camera.
5. Looping - actors re-record lines while watching their original performances in looped playback.
6. Slowly bring up the room tone volume.
7. Make sure you can't hear the cameraman moving.
8. Recording in forest - record clean dialogue in the studio then superimpose ambient sound recorded in the forest.
These tips would help a lot with my film I just created. The recording in forest tip relates well as mine was set in the woods, which we found difficult because of the location noise e.g wind. Also maybe using an external microphone instead of camera's microphone. Another thing we could of done is record 30 seconds of room tone/ambient noise.

- Room tone - 30 seconds of "room tone" which is the ambient noise
- James Bond - Talking in Caribbean hotel,ocean in background,fans whirling,drinks clinking at the bar to word with no background
- Loud room tone under warm audio - dialogue sounds the same
- Slowly bring up room tone volume
- EQ filter settings to footage with dialogue, reduce the loud hum
- Doesn't cut the sound of peoples speech
- External mic , physical microphone of the camera
- Hear cameraman
