When we filmed and edited our own film we came across many elements that we had to consider and adjust to our resources and budget to make a suitable project. These included location, framing, props, costumes and the equipment we had to use to record the film.
We adjusted to these problems based on our situation and what we could use given our small variety of choice. For example, when considering framing and the location of the shot we had many places we couldn't use at it looked unsuitable or too much like a school. We had to try different places and different camera angles to make the best of what we had. Professional films can have this problem up to a certain extent but can avoid problems as they have more freedom as to where they can film and also have professionals creating custom made sets.
Props were the easiest of the above problems to solve as we planned ahead and brought in our own props from home and borrowed them from our peers. Again professional film makers can have props custom built as they have a larger budget and more experienced people at hand.
Costumes were also very hard to come by as none of us had anything at home that suited the film we chose. In the end we solved this by borrowing costumes from other departments in the school. This problem would not occur in a professional film as the have a specific area of people who work hard to make costumes and get the right clothes ready for actors.
We had to use equipment that was provided by the school. This is not a high standard of equipment and this has the most effect when it comes to audio recording. We adjusted to this by speaking louder or filming somewhere quiet. Professional's have a higher standard of equipment designed for a specific job when recording. This is dues to the larger budget they have.
