Sources Of Finance

Finance Options

This documentation shows evidence of the multiple finance options an individual or a film producer can take whilst creating a film. I have completed this documentation as a table that demonstrates the different finance options and the pros and cons of each options, to better help to choose the right one. It displays that a film maker can receive a film budget through a bank loan, crowd funding, a grant, private investment, self-funding or public investment. A film maker would use this list to decide where they want to get financing from. A film maker decides this through whether they want their film to be low budget or high budget, what option would create the most reliable income and what option would grant them the needed amount of money to make a film. After gaining a source of finance, a film maker would next create a budget plan on what they are going to spend the money on so that they do not waste any. The advantages of a table is that you can easily see the different finance options compared to each other as they are all on display and you can see which option is the best for you. This documentation impacts me as I can easily see which source is right for me based on my budget and which sources have more pros and cons or what suits the type of film that I'm making. For me, the best finance option is self-funding because my film won't be that expensive to make as I am only a media student and all locations that I plan on using are close by and my actors can make their own way to these locations. Also I will borrow school's equipment so I don't have to pay for that. I am also using self-funding because my film will not be professional or released to the public. This documentation is professional but not industry standard because most film producers would most likely already have a idea of what source of budgeting they want to use beforehand.

Action Plan

Action Plan This Excel document shows evidence of my final action plan. An action plan is a plan that includes all of the tasks that a film producer has to complete during the pre-production process to be able to successfully produce a film, it also should include how long each task would usually take to complete. Most of the time film producers, include a target date on when the want to start each task because that will help them stay organised and productive. Some film producers also make note on if a task relies on another task to be completed, this way they know they cannot start a certain task if they have not completed the other. An action plan is essential for every film producer because it displays the plan for their whole pre-production and organises the entire process in a way that is easy to understand and read. It also helps a film producer stay on track and on schedule which is essential because If a film producer falls behind schedule or forgets to complete a task the...

Production Log

Production Log This document shows evidence that I have completed a production log. This log is similar to a diary in by how I write in at different stages of my coursework.  I have completed a production log because it is a easy and simple way to keep track on my progress so far.  It is especially useful to monitor my progress. This is because I can read my production log at any stage in my coursework and make sure that I am staying productive with my time and not falling behind schedule. I can also use my production log as an evaluation of how successfully iv'e organised my time, if I have stayed productive, whether I understood the coursework and what I have done in the past that has been successful or unsuccessful. I have completed my production log in a Word document because it is an easy way to write a lot of text, I also have divided the text and grouped it into dates - to see what I have completed and when. Some film makers may also keep a log on their progres...

World War Z Case Study

World War Z Case Study This case study shows the entire pre production process when making a film, the pre-production process is very important whilst making a film and failure to plan a film successfully can delay the release of a film hugely and could waste a lot of money and resources. I have researched this high budget film 'World War Z' to understand the different methods of producing a film and the pre production process compared to other types of film production, I did this because there are many ways and methods to producing a film so it is important for each film producer to find the right method for them to make the whole process much more productive and easier for them. I have presented this within a PowerPoint to categorize and organise the different elements of post production onto a different slide and go into detail on each, making it easier for me to understand the process. My different elements that I categorized were context, plot summary, financing,...
