Finance for my trailer

Saving some money for any production of a media text is important incase there are sudden unforseen costs. This is called contingency money. The form of budgeting I would use is called below the line budgeting (only budgeting for production elements).

This is the money I have saved for my production:
  • £10 - For costumes. I plan to mainly make my own costumes and to think of ideas as I go along! I may need to purchase items such as fake blood.
  • £10 - For petrol money, incase people take me to a fiming location and need some petrol money.
  • £10 - For any other costs that I have not predicted
Obviously, being an a level project, my film does not have costs similar to those of real films, especially those distributed by large production companies / distribution companies. Some films have costs exceeding millions of dollars, however usually the profits are much, much higher.
