Budget

 Budget

Since many of the items that we need are provided by the school, this would mean our budget expense would be low. However if this was a real scenario we would have to consider all the aspects with their actual price. Since if this was a real scenario we would have to fund our project mainly by ourself, meaning we'd have to gain a proper understanding of the items needed and their expense. As not having a proper estimate would mean potentially cause issues in the future where we may not be able to afford an item that we may need for production or in post-production. 

Within the budget section we will consider an estimate of how much that is needed in terms of expense. Final Cut Pro is the software that we will use in terms of editing. This will cost around £400. In order to use the software we will need an apple computer which we have opted for a Mac (Late 2012) which would cost around £150. A camera would also cost around £150. A whole lighting set would be needed which would cost up to £400. A mask prop will be needed which cost £10. Microphones will be needed for voice acting, which would cost around £400. Headset will be needed for audio hearing this could cost around £20. This comes to a total estimate of £1530.

We would also need to factor in the locations used, there will be many locations that will be used in this short film, the first few locations reside in the school which can be done at no extra needed expense. The park location can also be done at no extra expense since it is a public area, however since it is public accidentally filming unwanted figures in our camera could cause ethical and legal issues, which may make it difficult to take shots in a park location. The city could be difficult to film shots as there are many members of the public that can be seen which gives more of a chance of us accidentally filming one of them. We will also need to be cautious of spots we use as they may be private property or for filming, this means we may need to do prior research into the locations we use as well as build on backups if it turns out that those locations cannot be used.
