02
This is a low budget film
and I have tried to save
money in as many places
as possible i.e. using a
local venue for free and
sourcing props from the
school drama dept.
Legally, all music and
effects must be
completely copyright
free. I have researched
into this on my blog
and will ensure it fits
the requirements.
