Budget Video Notes


Try focus as much on trying to produce your movie the cheapest way possible, wether that is using products you already have or getting your friends and family to take part.Keep your locations to a minimum as travel time will cost a lot of money. 
Instead of paying people to be your extras, try use friends and family.The less characters you have the easy and cheaper is will be to manage. Avoid night scenes as it will be more difficult to film without a professional crew and lights to manage the setting.Its extremely important to location scout to save time filming to make sure in advance there are no issues. Natural lighting saves a lot of money on lighting and you can easily get away with it as high quality.Take advantage of magic hour around 4/5 am. Do not use copyright music as it will cost a lot of money, use your own music or music by friends or family. 

Through out the years low budget films aren't thriving as much as they use to, this is due to the fact that they don't have a big enough budget to use to make the movie as successful as a larger budget film would. An example of this could be they don't have enough money to promote the new movie leading to the company not making enough profit. Big conglomerates don't want to invest incase they will earn no money from it as they are less profitable. 'In the Us the number of striped shows being made annually has more than doubled since 2010 to more than 500 this year; Netflix recently revealed it has 90 original productions under way in Europe alone- Sky has 80- and traditional broadcasters such as ITV and the BBC have upped their game with huge hits such as Broadchurch and Line of Duty. This demonstrated how within the years more pale watch series and tv online compared on an actual physical TV. Instead they use online websites for example Netflix and ITV.
