1. Cast, crew, budget & contingency, and launch date (including props,
costume hire or anything I need to buy).
Cast and crew
Playing Megan, the British teenage girl in the first half of the short filmwill
be a friend of mine Bethany Driscoll, a singer who is 17 years old, she is
around 5ft 5 in height and has long brown curly hair. I believe she will be
perfect for the role as she has had experience with drama and acting as she
was in every school production from years 7 to 11 and did drama for gcse. I also believe
another reason she will be good for this character as she fits the character profile quite well
and this will help to make the filmmore believable. She will also fit well with the character
profile of the mainstreamand/or the reformeronthe youngand Rubicam’s4c’s model andC1

Budget
I will budget around £200 for my film to cover all costs including things such as props,
costume hire food, travel…
What? Notes Cost
Props I will put aside around £30 for the
purchasing of props such as the
calendars, pictures in frames, etc.
£30
Costume If the actors don’t already have the
clothes for the costume ideas I have
for them then I will have to purchase
the costumes.
£50
Food As it will probably take me around a
day for each half of the film I will
have to provide food for the actors.
£30
travel As I will probably have to drive the
actors to the locations and pick and
drop them off from their homes or
take the bus I need to make sure
that I budget for this.
£30
Contingency I will put £50 of my budget aside as a
contingency just in case I need to
make last minute changes so I will
be able to cover the cost.
£60
Total £200
2. Launch date
The launch date for this filmwould be the 1st of august because this would increase the
chances of more of the target audience being able to see the film as it is at the start of the
summer holidays all the teens will be off of school so they will have time to go out and
watch it and bring their friends along which will spread the word around and encourage
more people to watch it.
