When making the first 2 minutes of our film, due to having a limited time frame we cannot travel far on location so our film cannot be set in a foreign place. Locations near us may also not be ideally matched to the 'mise en scene' of our film so selecting an appropriate genre to locations we can access easily will be necessary. We only have a small budget so props such as posters or furniture would have to be cheap. Costume would have to be cheaply acquired if not already accessible and appropriate to the tie period and genre of film.
All very true and sensible. Filmmakers do always have to work within a budget, and with skill and ingenuity, you can make something excellent with the resources you have on your doorstep!
