I was planning on doing an 80 minute film in my hometown (I'm in the midwestern US), which is a beautiful place that's pretty empty most of the time. It would be the perfect setting for a film except for 1 thing: the sound. It's a quiet place but there are planes that pass overhead, dogs that bark and lawn mowing noises. I've been reading up on sound recording and apparently all these things make recording dialog very difficult. I was planning to shoot the majority of the film outdoors because of my lack of interior locations, but I'm not sure how well that's going to work out.
To make things worse I only have about $8,000 to spend on the entire production. I'm not sure if I can afford a professional sound guy, and even if I could, would they be able to work around the noise pollution?
Is making a dialog-heavy film on a few thousand dollars doable, if the majority of the locations are outdoors? Or is my only option to film a story that takes place mostly indoors? Thanks in advance.
