An intro to film budgeting
- A budget is something used to help finance something
- For the budget you need to know the story for the actors, costumes, make up etc.
- You need to know how much departments need for production.
- Sometimes certain areas in a film set need to lose money to help another area which may need the finances to help develop that area. For example, the finance department would need more money to spend on wages for better actors.
- Pre production is when the film producer is focused on budgeting, because they need to know how much each department needs before they start filming.
- Don't need a big budget to improve the quality of the film, because there are other ways of producing it, such as instead of using expensive tools, you can find a cheaper alternative.
- Focus on each department and the funding they need.

Kickstarter - Kickstarter is an online social media platform where you pitch your ideas and wait for people to donate money to your cause, in return for rewards. This can help in pre production because it allows them to know the funding they have for the film. For example, they would know how much money they have for departments such as scenery. The more money they have, they better quality sets they can afford.

ReplyDeleteComplete the questions and then for revision, add on a paragraph explaining what Kickstarter actually is and how it can help in pre-production.
