INSTRUCTIONS:

Create a budget with the following sections;

Production staff (producer, director, writer),
Production labour,
Performers,
Equipment rentals,
Tape stock,
Meals and accommodations.

Keep in mind that this production budget will not have any of your Post-Production costs (to keep things simple) and will therefore be a good deal less than an actual "complete" budget.

Make your own budget forms, but be sure to check the sample budget to make sure you are including as much as possible. YOUR budget will essentially be a mini version of the sample budget. The sample budget is a real "complete" budget and can be used as a guide. Also….
· All budgets are to include the "Budget Summary Top Sheet". This should be 'on top' of the rest of your budget and therefore the first thing seen. Print this top sheet out, or make one just like it. Click here to see it.

So here's what to do:

You are to take the below information and develop a budget for our 1 week shoot. You will be expected to do a lot of the thinking and "figuring out" on your own. For example, if all of the crew members are staying in hotels, how will they get to the set everyday? You will have to put cab fare in the budget - OR, rent a couple of passenger vans for the week. How much is that? Who is going to drive them? How much will gas be? What about extra insurance? Etc.

How big should your crew be? Think about this carefully. If you were a producer, who all do you suppose needs to be there for the shoot? · Assume a 5 day shoot
· Assume your actors are all local, but all crew members must be put up in a hotel and paid the appropriate meal "per diems"
· The writer wrote both a script and an outline. The writer is a member of the WGC and so all production fees and fringes must be paid.
· All actors and extras are to be paid ACTRA wages and all production fees and fringes must be accounted for. You will "buy out" your actors and use the prepayment option.
· The art director, the sound people, and all lighting people are members of the ACFC all production fees and fringes must be paid.
· Your entire camera dept. are members of IATSE local 667, all production fees and fringes must be paid.
· Your director has negotiated a flat fee of $5000 for 5 days work, no fringes or extras.

For all five days (or whatever your schedule was) you will need the following equipment (minimum):
· 2 Sony Digital Betacams
· 2 battery belts, batteries (8 per camera), 2 chargers, 2 colour monitors
· 2 O'Connor 25/75 tripods
· 2 Nuemann shotgun mics
· 2 Headphone and mic cable kits
· 10 64-minute digital Betacam tapes
