What equipment is necessary to film a low budget documentary?
I mean really low. I have a camera lined up. I am working on getting audio recording equip and a boom and lavalier mic.
I will be filming indoors and outdoors. What will I need for lighting? A spotlight? A softbox? both?
basically, what is the very least I need aside from the script which obviously I have, the camera, sound.

A camera, a mic, a light with a stand (you can use a 500 watt halogen work lamp...It's cheap...You can probably get away with using just one (I've done it before), but I'd suggest at least two...Look up "three-point lighting" on google), and a reflector board (which'll replace the soft light in the three-point lighting set-up). That would require a crew of three...The camera operator, the boom operator, and the guy who holds the reflector board.

in the action picture marketplace audio and video are on 2 separate tracks for high quality applications and that they are then blended at the same time in enhancing. They postpone booms (those vast microphones with the fluffy stuff on the tip) to p.c.. up speech promptly from the actors. quite lots all sound effects (door last, gunshots, even footsteps at times) are put in afterwards =)
