FINANCE: REQUIREMENTS OF FINANCE: FACILITY HIRE

Image
Facility hire is where you are going to film. Whether its a public space or a rented out space. For a budget of £3000 it would probably be easier to use a space you already have or use a public space. However to rent out a cheap space it would cost £100 per day in London and £800 per week. This space is good because it's a plain studio so you can fit it with the theme of your film without having to worry about everything else in the room. https://www.gumtree.com/p/commercial-property-to-rent/photography-film-video-event-studio-space-%C2%A3100-day-hire-n-london-art-casting-location-warehouse/1234269393 For a bigger budget like £63000000 then you could rent out a big space with the money that you have. For a room in Stafford London then it would cost £500 per day, therefor the total would be £4000 per week. This is good because you get a big space for a cheap price but again it's empty so you can decorate it how you would like and then have no problem about anything not f...

FINANCE: REQUIREMENTS OF FINANCE: TALENT

Image
The talent in a film is who stars in it. When you have a short film budget like £3000 over a big Hollywood film budget like £63000000 then you might not always see actors that you know. For a £3000 budget on the talent you could hire out 5 actors. For one male actor you would have to pay him £10 per hour. For another male actor you would have to pay him £10 per hour. Lastly for another male actor you would have to pay him £10 per hour. For one female actor you would have to pay her £15 per hour. For another female actor you would have to pay her £25 per hour. If they each work for 8 hours a day then in total it would cost you £560 per day. Therefore a week of filming would cost you £2800. If your budget has £3000 on each department then you could hire them all but if you wanted to save money on your production then you could use your friends or just have 2-3 experienced actors. For a £63000000 budget you could easily hire out 5 actors and have money left over. For one m...

FINANCE: REQUIREMENTS OF FINANCE: TRANSPORT

Image
There are many different ways in getting to a film set these include, cars, mini-vans, public transport which includes trains and buses. When organizing transport for your employees then you must remember everyone therefore it may be pricey. For an 8 people crew and a 5 people cast there are many options. To rent a car for 8 hours for 5 days one way is £133. This is a 7-12 minivan, which is good because we have a big crew and it is advised for people who have a lot of 'equipment or luggage'. For there and back each day it'll cost £266 and for the whole week it'll cost £1330. www.autoeurope.co.uk To get public transport each day from Sutton to London Bridge is £12.80 return for one person. Therefore, it will cost £166.40 per day and £832 all week for returns. www.trainline.com Therefore, if you are on a small budget and don't have a lot to spend public transport is a lot cheaper than hiring a van for your whole crew.

FINANCE: REQUIREMENTS OF FINANCE: CREW

A film crew includes many people such as a producer, director, camera operator, lighting operator, makeup and hair artists, editor and script supervisor. These are the main people needed on a film set however on high budget films there will be a bigger crew.  The crew mentioned above is only the main people needed on a small film set so there will be a lot of money for other crew members left over if you want a bigger crew because you have a bigger budget.  Shooting will consist of 5 days from 9-5.  Producer;  For a film producer they will need to be payed £40 an hour. This may seem like a lot of money however the producer does a lot to help your film on the market so you need to hire a good producer so you will have a high quality film.  Director;  A director usually gets £37.50 an hour. Again this might sound pricey however these are the main people on the crew so you will always need to hire someone who is good at their job and who has l...
