The document estimates the costs for a short film project over seven days. It allocates £700 of the budget to rent a steady cam for filming. £210 is estimated for camera rental and £360 for six hours of editing using Adobe master Collection CS5, which could be purchased for £399. Locations can be borrowed so no permits are needed, saving money. Props like balloons, food, and a mattress will cost £30. Microphones at £135 each will cost £270 for two. Still images will be taken with a digital camera.

1. We have estimated that making our short film will take seven days so the camera we have chosen to
use is a steady cam and have used £700 out of our budget for seven days.
Used for seven days, £30 x 7 = £210
For the editing I have estimated that 6 hours will be needed after making the film, to put it all
together. £60 x 6 = £360
For students to buy the Adobe master Collection CS5 for ourselves it would be £399 and we could do
both the editing and sound mix ourselves.

2. For locations we will be borrowing somebody’s car and will not have to pay for the locations we will
be using, so we will not need any permits which will there for make us able to save money for that.
For our props we will need balloons, party food, a cake, a chair and a mattress. There are no specific
outfits just normal clothes for all the cast, so we will only need to use a little of the budget for this
one which will be £30.
For sound I have chosen to use the microphones above they are £135 each and as their will only be
two characters we will need to use two of these which will be £270
For still images for the production I will be doing the pictures myself on a digital camera that I can
upload straight away.
