Unit 4 - Understanding requirements of film production

Finance

• Some funds are sourced from the Government. Many nations now have a tax scheme which allocates funding for film makers.
• Pre-sales and Co-Productions: Some film makers will sell the film for a cheaper price to gain revenue, in addition they will work with other producers who may have money.
• Product Placement: Some film producers will work with big brand managers to gain funding for including their products as props on set.
• Some producers use the power of music, as they are closely related to each other, in order to attract more people in to buying their film.

Time

• Re-arranging the order of production strips to find the best shooting schedule
• Choosing certain dates for when to record based around the weather

Personnel

• cameramen
• makeup + costume people
• director
• editor
• soundman
• lighting guy
• catering staff

Equipment + facilities

• shoulder mount support for camera - £30
• hand held stabilizer -£60
• full day at studio -£700

codes of practise

• must have rights and permission to use certain props or music from the producer or owner of the company.
• must have legalised props
• everything taking place in a movie must be legalized such as a stunt.

I think all of this is very important in creating a film as it Is what combines together in order to make film actually work, and look good. Without all of this it would just be like recording a film from your phone, no quality, no emotions being created, just a bland film being created.
