Hello again! With our project nearing its end, and with editing already being well on the way... I can't help but looking back and seeing what could have been, and imagine what my group and I could have done with a bigger production budget. When that comes to mind, there are to main things that I would focus on within my project, and that would be better cameras and video quality; as well a microphones.

Video Quality & Cameras

One of the main things I believe we would do differently is acquire better cameras for high video quality. You see, all of our footage was shot on our phones, with my phone being the device that was mainly used for filming. I've stated before that the reason for us choosing to film with our phones was because we wanted the footage to be easily accessible to us. This was easy with our iPhones, any footage recorded on them would immediately be uploaded to the iCloud, making all the footage easy to access through the computer. 

However, during the editing phase of this project, looking back on some of the captured footage, some of the video quality in some of our scenes seems to takes a dip at times. You see, although the iPhones camera quality is very good, sometimes it can be a bit limited. 

With all of that being said, I believe that Professional Video Camera would have been just perfect for our project, had we had the budget for such a thing. While we thought that a Professional camera would be to extreme and over the top for our project, looking back on it now, even though it wouldn't be as convenient as filming on our phones, the video quality from such a camera would have helped us out so much in the long run.

Microphones

Another thing that I believe we would have done differently with a bigger budget would be our sound capturing. A major oversight of my groups during filming was how we would capture the dialogue of our actors, and how we would reduce background noise within our film. Because of this, the sound design during editing has been a bit difficult. 

With that said, I believe that had our group had a bigger budget, we would 100% get some microphones for our intro. I could see us applying the use of some lavalier microphones for each actor to attach onto their shirts; but mainly, I think would would go with the route of using boom microphones as then we wouldn't run into the issue of the lavalier microphones being visible within the footage.
