Production Requirements

Type Of Production
The type of production I will be looking to produce will be a web-serial and its genre is Thriller.

Finance

• Source Of Finance: Most film producers get their finances from either investors investing a particular amount of money in their production to be paid back after the production of the film, while others might get their finances form their own personal savings which in return when the movie makes profit is going to benefit them in a long run there are still other get theirs through lottery and other ways. For my production I'm not going to be needing a lot of money because the essential materials are going to be provided to me by my school for my production. The only thing my school is not funding is feeding for me and my actors which I will be funding myself from own personal savings, my transport and actors transport is already covered as we all have free oyster bus passes.
• Budget Requirements: Ideally as I will be shooting a web-serial below will be a layout of how much is needed and what for they are needed for:

1. Cameras-  Ranges form £93.99 up to £32,549.46, I will have to purchase one as I'm using a single camera to shoot my web-serial. I will be using the colleges camera which is free on booking.
2. Lights and Microphone: £54.99 + £183.64 for both lights and microphone. I wont be needing this as I will be shooting my web-serial during day time and my actors voices will be recorded for a voice over on the videos, it also cost around £500 per day to hire a camera man and sometimes they come with all their equipment's and sometimes they don't.
3. Editing suites: can be hired for £500 per day/hour but I'm going to be booking the colleges editing suite for editing of the web series.
4. Talent: to hire a talent/ talents will cost like around £500-£700, but I will be using my colleagues who take acting or drama as a course as they will be more professional than others, and because they are my colleagues they will not ask for any pay.
5. Crew: To hire a crew for a web series in the real world will probably cost more than £5,100. For my web series we will be in groups of 6 and we will make up the crew as jobs will be split between us. 
6. Facility Hire: in a real life experience to rent an edit suite for the videos to be edited will probably cost around £550 per day. I will be using the schools editing suite which is free to use.

• TIME

Time and scheduling in the media industry is very important because of a deadline is not met the producers start to lose money as they will spend extra money to buy more time to spend on their project. I will be mostly filming on weekends as the week is occupied for me and most of the actors because of school we should be able to do a lot of different shots in three days so ideally two - three weeks should be enough for filming and editing of my web series. Some work can also be done during week as well.

The equipment I'm going to be using are going to be free as the colleges equipment are free on booking but I will still need to buy some few equipment like props which would normally cost around £500 but can get it for a more cheaper prize.

• CREW& PERSONNEL

For the availability of personals I'm going to be doing this project with 3 or 2 other people so the roles of production will be split between us, for actors we will be gathering talents form our colleagues who study acting and drama as they will fit in and look more professional on set but in a real world auditions will be held to get actors and this will cost the production crew money as they will have to rent a location for the auditions and it will probably cost more money getting a professional crew together such as camera men, directors e.t.c.

• MATERIALS

Clearance is paying for copyrighted materials to used e.g music tracks/ sounds. For every time a copyrighted material is shown on another show the owner of the material gets paid some certain amount of money which usually ranges form £50 upwards depending on how much is agreed, because this is a school project we won't have to pay for the use of other sound tracks but for my web serial I am planing on creating original sounds my self as I and most people in my group know how to use Logic Pro X. Also we can get non copyrighted form you tube and its also free download   here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/user/uncopyrighted4u

• LOCATION

Most of our shots will be filmed local that is within and around Kent and we will need a permit form the Kent council to be able to film in specific places, when the weather is not favorable for us while filming we can either film it that way and edit it to look better or use the weather to send out a mood in the series. 

The distance for filming spots won't be far away form where crew members live as I said earlier it will be local and all the crew members do live local.
Most materials will be provided by the college as it is free on booking and for the ones that aren't they will be either bought or booked off a booking company for a period of time
Recces is us going out to take pictures and scouting out the locations we are going to use for our web series in real life situation an  agency will be paid to do so and usually  cost quite a lot of money.

The BBFC won't regulate my web series as thy only regulate movies and cinematic shows and theater shows.

• FACILITIES

Production Equipment: equipment such as cameras, lights and other things can be booked for free form the college.  But in a real life situation it will cost around 1000 pounds as to get a camera man alone cost around 500 pounds that half of the money gone already.

Post- production equipment: edit suite can be booked for 550 pounds a day and this suites will contain macs which will run the software Final cut x which is the software that will be used to edit their shots. I will be using the editing suites in school as they are free to use.
