I'm interested in the idea of low budget movies hiding their low budgets in clever ways, through lighting, miniatures, matte paintings, or camera angles. My favorite one has to be the final scene in Whiplash, where since it was a low budget movie and it was a Blumhouse movie, I have a doubt they actually could get such a huge amount of extras there so the way Chazelle films it is by filming the audience part of the stage in shadow. And having most of the focus be on Andrew and Fletcher with close ups, and camera angles to shift away from the audience. I feel like this is just a simple, but clever way to hide the fact that the film is a first time filmmaker's low budget Blumhouse movie, so he had to find interesting ways to film a sequence like that without having the budget for a whole crowd of extras.
