Cast and Crew - you might not have to pay anyone, but make sure you clarify this early on. If you are not paying crew then it is customary to offer to cover their expenses. Note - funded films generally require the equity minimum pay for cast and particularly crew.
- Travel – an unavoidable cost.
- Catering – food is not to be underestimated, if you can feed your team well they will be much happier to work for you.
- Location - it depends where you are shooting, but again make sure that this is thoroughly researched ahead of time.
- Camera and Lights - see Filmmaking Guide: Equipment.
- Stock - see Filmmaking Guide: Equipment.
- Insurance - see Legal Guide: Insurance.
- Post-production and Marketing - important areas, most first-time filmmakers do not budget adequately for these. See also our related filmmaking guides: Post-production & Editing,Press & Publicity Materials, Marketing Your Short.
