 ⋆˙⟡ In a Perfect World ✶⋆.˚

                                           

    Welcome back to my blog everyone! This post will be the last one for this week.

Today, I will be talking about what we would do if we had a major/unlimited movie budget: 

1. Actors

  For actors, I would hire people who actually know how to act and are actors for a living instead of doing it ourselves. We do NOT have much acting experience ourselves nor have we gone to school/learned about it which is quite obvious in our acting. As a result, this makes dramatic or emotional scenes sometimes very awkward, and I acknowledge that limitation. However, in reality, we have budget limitations, but in a perfect world, I would hire TOP of the line actors who would portray these roles perfectly with the finesse that we do not just possess.

2. Costumes

    I do NOT think anything needs to be changed about our costumes as they are realistic for what we are trying to portray in our project. We could probably use the utopian budget on just accessorizing more or having higher quality clothes, but in terms of appearances, I think the current ones fit our aesthetic and vision aptly.

3. Setting/Location

   I talked about this problem in previous blogs (Day 2 of Shooting and Lighting) but due to the location we chose and had available we had issues with the lighting and atmosphere of the setting. In my Lighting blog, I suggested building a similar set to the actual parking lot we used during the project, but with less bright lights and a more eerie ambience. This would obviously cost quite A LOT of money, but since we have an unlimited budget, it would be worth the costs. For the house scenes, I think what we have now is fine as there were no issues with the current setting for part 1 of the opener.

 4. Lighting/Sound/Editing

    Continuing from our previous paragraph, as you know there were problems with the lighting in the parking lot scenes due to the location, and I already proposed a solution in the paragraph above. Another thing is that we could make the lighting more dynamic in other scenes. It does not have to be anything BIG as it could just minor tweaks that just slightly adjust the atmosphere to be more fitting to our vision if we want to be perfectionists. However, other than that there is nothing else I could think of for lighting. Moving on to sound, there was some uncontrollable background noises during filming that were hidden during editing, but to save us the hassle in a perfect world, we would have better equipment to prevent that from happening in the FIRST place. Moreover, we could have a custom soundtrack made for us! That would UP the production quality by a few notches just by itself. Lastly, for editing, I would hire a professional editor that would know what cuts and transitions goes perfectly where and which filters/effects to use to create the certain atmosphere we want to portray as even though I have the knowledge I lack the experience a pro would have. 

    That is it for today! See you next week to discuss another exciting new thing about my project.
