Budget Experiment

The short film 'Threads' (Production Management) had a budget of only 10k and in small groups we had to try and come up with a budget for the film. Here's my take on it -

Actors (age 18 - 20) - £199.20
Speaking Actors - £2,340
Non Speaking Actors - £123.80
Director/Writer - £800
Producer - £800
Crew - £1,485.60
Editor - £200
Power - £30
Travel & Transport - £271.40
Hotel - £1,400
Insurance - £700
Contingency - £500
Food - £200
Props - £550
Equipment - £400

We never got to find out just what the actual budget for the film was but I what I learned very quickly is that there is no money in short film and 10k is not a lot to play with.
