Film budgeting is the process in which a producer, unit production manager, or production accountant makes a budget for a film project.
Film budgeting is a very crucial component to the pre-production phase regardless of the type of film you’re planning to make - whether it be a low budget short film, feature film, web series or tv series.
If you have a well prepared budget sheet than it will give your film a better chance of being successful, in terms of quality and profits as well. It doesn’t necessarily matter how much money you have, especially if you’re working on micro-budget short films - what matters is how you budget and utilize the money and resources you have.
And remember before you start breaking down the film budget, it’s important to understand when to begin budgeting for your project and the specific planning for each budgeting phase.
Generally, if you’re a producer or independent filmmaker with an idea for a film, you should start with a non-detailed, estimated preliminary budget. This particular budget will contain an estimated total of all the potential costs and accounts you’ll need to purchase for the film.
Once you’ve gathered the necessary funds needed to make your film, you’ll need to construct a more in-depth and detailed film budget. This will usually occur after hiring the key members, or department heads, of your production. This more detailed budget will be much more complex withIf you’re wondering how to construct an actual film budget, you should look into film budgeting software, such as Movie Magic, where you can use budgeting templates that can be of great help during the process
In order to save some money, determine which members you don’t necessarily need and which ones you do need. It’s also smart to put on multiple hats if you may not be able to hire certain crew members. This way you don’t need to pay great sums of money for positions you can likely do yourself.
