Every time I start a lower budget movie, I can instantly sense it in the sounds and video that everything just seems more “raw” like it was filmed on an iPhone or something. How come big budget movies don’t generally seem like this, a ton of post processing? Why can’t low budget folks do this?

Audio is something every producer on a budget who knows their arse from their elbow will focus on. Granted it doesn’t affect it looking ‘raw’ but bad audio quality is ALWAYS noticed before bad camera quality. Think about City of God, David Mierelles made a conscious choice to use 18mm film instead of the standard Hollywood 60mm to give it the grainier, poorer quality but the film still has perfect crops Hollywood audio on dialogue, foley etc and a killer soundtrack. It’s often what brings a project from amateur to professional.
