Materials

Materials:

Materials in film refers to any of the physical or digital artifacts used in the production movement. This will include resources you yourself have to bring about as well as archive footage and library materials that come in a array of forms e.g., sound files, video footage, edits on a black background to chroma key, props and costumes. 

Material you have generated can include anything at all: from creating your own sound or video effects to making your own costume.
