Create a budget for your production
By now you will have worked out how long your production will take and who and what you will need to make it.
Create a table which shows how many days each person will be required and how much they will be paid per day.
Try and cost any props and materials you will need.
You are costing this as if you were making it professionally but on a low budget- don’t just assume everything is free as it is from the school. You can explain that you are budgeting this for a low budget professional film.
To find out rates visit the Bectu site below. In the left hand column you will see a list of departments- you can click on these and download the relevant rate card from a tab on the top right.
e.g download the camera rate card and find the relevant section. Decide what roles you need filled and work out their rate and time. You may need to divide the rate by days to get the right amount- below is the rate card for various camera people on a low budget film:
