Production Research

Resources and Costs

e.g. personnel, talent, finance, suppliers, facilities, locations, logistic support.


Personnel

Bluefin TV offer a range of two man crews from a range of £900 to £1300, but with these two man crews they come with their own camera equipment which would also save money on the budget. This would be significant to my documentary because it isn't a big budget documentary and two camera men would be perfect for the job and because they include their own high quality cameras it saves money.

Talent

I have found a professional voice over actor and charges £10 per hour, but as this is a very low budget which makes it a challenge to find someone within the budget given. I would implement this to my documentary because I would like a voice over actor and show images of the place the actor is talking about which could make this documentary feel more professional.

Finance

Locations - Go on Google maps and research areas we would use for my documentary and discuss why.

Viability

The product I am producing is financially viable because all the equipment we need is loaned to us by the school so we are having not to spend any money on equipment.

I have the necessary skills to undertake the production because I know from my research what my target audience wants from this documentary.

The only help and support I will need for this project is a crew to help me to capture what Banstead is really like from a teenagers perspective.

I would have enough time to produce the product because I would have 2-3 weeks to film the product.
