A1 Logistics: Availability Of Equipment

Availability Of Equipment   When buying or hiring equipment It is crucial to pick the right equipment as it can affect the entire filming of your production and for your budget in general, it can take an unnecessary and detrimental chunk out of your budget, and if the budget was initially small to begin with it can be even more of a problem.

There are may different types of characters to be cast. For example the more subtle roles such as background actors don’t necessarily need to be ‘cast’ In fact, background actors are usually volunteers, and not paid for their role. Although they may not be deemed as important roles, they are however very necessary throughout a feature film. For example, if a scene was to be shot in the middle of London, which is the busiest city in the country. It would look unrealistic witch just the leading actors being apart of it. Therefore background actors are a vital part of making certain scenes look real and authentic. Supporting and lead actors however are roles that need to be cast.
