Crowd funding

An introduction to budgeting video:


  • it is a creative tool that helps you to create a plan to pull of your movie 
  • to get the director what they want 
  • you need to know the story (script) and all the details of it 
  • knowing how much things cost, do your research 
  • use phone calls to find out prices 
  • talk whilst negotiating the price 
  • you have to be flexible with your money and take away from other areas to help where its needed 
  • don't forget about post-production 
  • food is important not to forget 
  • "you can pull of anything with anything"
  • compromise and balance between departments
