Budget Proposal For Fashion Advert


Introduction

This blog post is going to be based on the research and findings i get towards our fashion advert. My media product will be low budget this is so that the costing’s are reasonable.

Resources

Personnel:

The personnel is needed for the production of my short media production will be a producer, director, researcher, script writer, equipment, operator(camera, lights, sound), editor, actor/actresses, set/location designer.

All of these members must be asked permission and i must take in to count the cost to the personnel.

Talent
Talent is needed for each member of the personnel, these needs to be based on the experience and qualifications achieved.
Suppliers/equipment
·          camera
·          tri-pod
·          microphone/audio recorder
·          boom pole
·          dolly/tracker
·          lighting
·          editing software/hardware (Photoshop, computer basics (monitor, keyboard, hard drive, mouse) camera accessories, headphones/speakers)
The props that need to be taken into account for the purpose of the production are;
·           
·          black, white and patterned backdrops
·          alcohol bottles
·          shisha pot
·          chair
·          clothing items (clothes, shoes, jewellery, accessories)
·          Make-up/hair products
·          projector
All of these equipment will need to put into costs/budgeted.
Facilities

The facilities that are available to allow me to plan and create my media product are at home, the work place (schools), public facilities (library, internet cafes, etc.).
I must take into account if any costs are needed when using these facilities, e.g. usage fees, electrics, printing costs, etc.).
Locations
For our media product, we have chosen to set our locations in Sidney Stringer Academy theatre, as we need a wide enough space to place the large backdrops and need the appropriate lighting.
Logistical support
Logistic support is taking into consideration on the equipment used and the costs to help us move our equipment and personnel from each location.
As all of our production will be done within the same building, we do not need to rent out any vehicles to help us with mobility.
Costs:

All of these costs are estimated according to research through primary and secondary research. This is not the finalized amount and it will be used to help budget my finances. (3)
