If you wished to create a film, you would need quite a bit of equipment
before starting.
Hopefully you would have your story, your ideas and ‘vision’ before starting but what about the resources?
Props: Props are pretty vital in a film. They can give the illusion you are smashing a real glass bottle over someone’s head or even a phone that someone is using to talk to another character. Props can help develop the scene or even make it more dramatic, for example; if someone shoots someone, they can only do so by holding a gun (which would be a prop).
Production Equipment: This enables you to actually capture and shoot the film. Without lighting, cameras or microphones you wouldn't be able to see or hear any of your characters.

Cast: A story needs characters, and characters need people to play them. A cast enables the story to happen as they act it out. Choosing the cast is a whole project in itself, getting the right look or acting style is key if you want you’re film to be successful.
Crew: In order to make the production equipment work, you’ll need someone who knows how to use them. The crew are really the force behind the filming of everything; they control the lighting, the camera work, or any stunt work that needs to take place and much more.
The crew can also include any make up, hair or costume designers that can keep your characters in your film looking up to scratch.
Locations: In order to capture your film, you need somewhere to do it. This may be either a studio if you are creating your set through location or it could be in another country somewhere, depending on what the story is actually about. Finding the location would be a project in itself as you’d want it to be accurate to the time you've set your film in too.
These are just a few but there are many more resources needed to help create and complete a film, both in the process of production and post production. These resources and people that know how to use them all play a vital part for a film project.
