Set Construction. On a micro budget indie film, unless your entire movie takes place in one location (ex: Saw or Burried) don't even think about building sets. Spend your money on professionally decorating a location. Constructing a set is expensive due to labor and material costs. Not only do you have to rent the sound stage for your production, but you also need to rent it for set construction and set removal. The key to making a low budget film is to use as few locations for as many scenes as possible. Think of your film budget as a financial plan. The more sections you can eliminate like "Set Construction", the less variables you need to worry about.
Of course, on larger budget films, set construction is key to making your film because it allows for more complex shots and more control over your set and environment.
