 If Only...

Welcome back, everyone! Following the conclusion of our film, we can't help but think about what we could've done to boost our movie if we only had a massive Hollywood movie budget to work with. Though this post is totally theoretical, I will try to keep it as realistic and achievable as possible:

Actors

We would certainly hire some of the best actors for this prospect. Eugene, Edison, and Rayyan, in the nicest way possible, are quite disappointing actors. If we had a massive budget, we would hire someone like Daniel Craig to play our Agent Eugene, given his excellence in the James Bond role


Costumes

Certainly, we would invest in more agent-like costumes. Our current characters just wore casual hoodies and pants, and a baseball cap if needed. However, this does not truly bring out the "secret agent" feel. If we could, we would invest in full dark attire, including sunglasses, a large hat, and formal suit and pants. 


Setting/Location

If we did have a proper budget, our location would definitely change. For one, the woods that we used would be more congested and haunted-like. We would likely use a movie set to keep a dark theme while still capturing enough lighting, countering the issue we struggled with in our first movie idea.


Lighting/Sound/Editing

In my opinion, the most essential components of the movie are the sound and lighting. If we had a proper budget, we would IMMEDIATELY purchase various lighting, especially 3-point lighting and tungsten lights for the woods. As for sound, microphones would be essential. Boom mics and lava mics would be our go-to, especially because we  GREATLY struggled with capturing audio outside. Finally, we would hire professional editors to put together our film using their complex editing software and skills. CapCut did the job for us, but if we want a Hollywood movie, we would need heavy-duty software and highly advanced editors.
