Commercial Viability - Budget Hypothetically, when a professional budget is placed upon this documentary, I found it would cost £5565 to produce the documentary from scratch including the contingency fund from a budget of £7500. This includes buying all the hardware required such as a iMac and a laptop as well as software such as Final Cut Pro. I have also added the cost of maintenance of my crew such as cost of food. Realistically, The documentary is quite low budget due to several factors • Equipment provided by school • Don’t require supplies such as food and drinks • Interviewees are within close accessibility • Locations are within close proximity Overall I don’t feel I will have to pay massively for anything as equipment is provided by the school and locations can be travelled to via bus which is free at the moment as me and my crew are in full time education.
