In nearly all films, there is some degree of technological intricacy involved. In the original Star Wars trilogy, there were tangible models of the spaceships created which were then destroyed, making it seem that an extremely large shit was destroyed due to the manner in which the camera shot it. This example uses what technology was available at the time and creates a detailed and complex product. Although it cost an extremely large amount of money and time to create and then destroy the models, I believe we can incorporate some ideas from this in order to make maximum use of the technology we have on hand. This can include making paper models or using shadows in order to accomplish our goals. I don't have any definitive examples yet due to the early stages of the project, but I feel using such elements could have a profound effect, be cheap to produce, and demonstrate professionalism.
Although, our project will likely stray away from certain genres such as Sci-Fi and Westerns anyways, thus there shouldn't be such a high demand for intricate technology. However, if there needs to be any products made to enhance the film, we can create models or emphasize silhouettes to capture a similar feel to having the real thing. We can use technology that we already possess, such as flashlights and lamps, to create an ominous scene, or to create high key lighting, or any other lighting necessary in order to accomplish whatever scene necessary. Essentially, we will be creating makeshift advanced technology, similar to what was seen in Star Wars, with low budget items, attempting to produce a visually high quality piece.
