Budgeting Review


As well as planning my advertisement, there are some important things that have to be sorted out before I even think about filming it. I will have to have an idea on the prices for a range of things like the equipment that I will need to use but also the price of hiring actors for my advert. I will conduct comprehensive research to find out the cost of the following:

  • DLSR Camera
  • Tripod
  • MacBook
  • Location Hire
  • Editing Hire
  • Actors
This research will have to be done a long time before I actually start filming as it is vital that I find the best prices for everything that I need.
























When researching, I found different cameras and I managed to see what is in my price range and also what camera would be good to use for my advert so I looked Nikon and Canon cameras. When researching, I found that the Nikon camera was more expensive than the Canon camera, but the quality of the Nikon cameras were better. Therefore, I have decided I am going to rent the Nikon camera for 4 days and that is going to cost me £80.

















I have also been researching for tripods and have found out that it would also cost £80 to hire for 4 days.




It is difficult to give you a specific price on how much it would be to  rent actors as it all depend on what type of actor you are looking for. To make the best out of my money, I will be looking for a cheap actor, but also one that performs well.







































These are showing how much it would cost to rent some spaces in a school. It all depends on how big I will want my space for when I'm filming, the bigger the room, the more it will cost to rent.


The budget for my advertisement will be £800. This money will be spent on the equipment hire which includes actors, location, tripods and cameras.

It is difficult to give you a specific price on how much it would be to  rent actors as it all depend on what type of actor you are looking for. If you want a top class actor then that is going to cost a lot of money for them to feature in your video, whereas, if you do not want to spend a lot of money then you are going to get a rubbish actor. To make the best out of my money, I will be looking for a cheap actor, but also one that performs well.

These are showing how much it would cost to rent some spaces in a school. It all depends on how big I will want my space for when I'm filming, the bigger the room, the more it will cost to rent. I will be using a classroom for 4 days so that will come to £88.

The total to hire all these pieces of equipment comes to £690. With my total budget being £800 I will have £110 left over.
