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.
