While recording our project, we wondered "what if we had a bigger budget?" Obviously these are just curious thoughts, but having a significantly larger budget would definitely make things look better. As the director, seeing how the camera effects the outcome of a film was truly fascinating. At first, we started recording with an iPhone 15. However, when Antwan offered us the chance to use his Canon camera, it changed the whole landscape of our project. Going from a pretty good camera, to an an actual camera that is used for things like this helped us in ways that we could have never imagined.
Having Gallarde as our actor was amazing, but the truth is that he is not an actor. If we had the chance to have a competent actor, who actually knows how to get the best out of every scene, would be absolutely incredible. Costuming, although a huge component, does not necessarily require a huge budget. If we wanted to record a lavish film with fancy scenery, restaurants, cars etc then of course we would want the costuming to match the occasion. However, our film could have clothes from the dollar store and we would still be content with it.
In terms of our location, we were extremely happy with where we were able to record. However, it would be nice to be in a secluded area as it would have fit our idea for the project, which was isolation. If we had an unlimited budget we probably would rent out a small part of Miami for a night just to shoot a couple of scenes. Having a professional editing team with the best of the best editing software would be a BLESSING. Our project would be immaculate as the edits would be smooth, exquisite, and seamless. Sound plays a huge component, so maybe paying a prominent artist/band would work wonders for us. Our lighting was actually perfect for our project, so I probably wouldn't change anything about it.
