My film program got a budget of $1,000 to spend. What should we get
LeisureSuit912:
Like others have said, lighting, but I'd also recommend getting a camera dolly if you want more dynamic shots
Also potentially actors pay cuts
FelipeO_O_:
You'll need probably a green screen and lights for ambient lighting.
These both are indispensable.
Of course additional material will depend upon what kind of movie you want to make.

idk these days I see handheld stabilizer rigs far more than dollies
then again the stuff i do is more event related rather than scripted scenes

what are the non-dslr cameras, as well, what are the studio filming cameras? you may want to rent some dslrs to replace them (if you're allowed to rent them). you'll def want lights (headcrab zombie's recommendations are great), stabilizers (chest-mount/shoulder-mount, or normal handheld), dollies, green screens (like this: http://a.co/fVzL4Qm), and some quick-release kits (these are loving godsends). also, test out the tripods, and determine how smooth/stable they are, see if they need to be replaced. get some different lenses as well (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/digital-cine-lenses/ci/25249/N/3908282151)
other then that you should be ready to go
