I think the way Gareth Edwards and his team done an amazing job by managing to pull off a Hollywood style film with a tight budget of only $500,000. the equipment they used to film monsters is said be at the boundary of $15,000 which shows how cheap their budget was and the way the actual film came out makes the audience think that the crew has invested lots more money in the film that what they have actually did.
The film actually had only 2 actors originally but Gareth thought it would keep them within their budget if they got extras from the public to feature in the film. The two actors happen to be amateurs and they are actually a real life couple and i think Gareth did this so that he can give the film that romantic emotion and because they are already close it would make the film more realistic as the actors would feel more close too each other, which could also relate to the comfort of making contact and showing real emotions. Although the actors are said to be amateurs, i think they did a good job and done their role well as they had some difficult scenes to pull off, for example ' when they were looking at the sky and they weren't anything up there, but they had to show that emotion of being scared, and sort off amazed/shocked which i think is quite difficult if you cant even imagine what the creature will look like at the end of the film.
The editing of the film also made it look more realistic, considering that the film was shot in several countries. However the most incredible bit of the film production is the way the visual effects were added on. All the jets, helicopters, signs, creatures and other features of the film were added on by Gareth when he was doing the visual effects of the film and they all came our realistic and beautiful. The monsters were all drawn up on paper and then again drawn on the computer using some sort of 3D software which allowed Gareth to shape and create the monster and its movements. all this show how much technology has changed the film industry and is changing
