Planning - Budget (by Toby Saddleton & Charlie Austin)

For the main task it was specified that we should create a budget. This would list all costs of production, or in our case, any external costs to make the whole film intro happen. This would include costs of equipment, travel to location, and so forth. For the budget, there are two headings we should consider:

1. Travel costs
2. Equipment

Travel
Due to the fact we are filming outside of school for the most part, there are some travel costs to consider. Our film is going to be filmed at a range of locations, such as Toby's house and roads surrounding it. Also, we are going to be filming at George's house also. Even though most of the group live local and can walk to these locations, I, Charlie, live a further distance away. Therefore, we have to consider travel costs. Here is a list of travel costs to consider:
Adult price return ticket from Chatham to Rainham - £4
Possible car journey's, requiring petrol -
Unleaded (Per mile)
Highest: 123.9p
Lowest: 117.9p
Diesel (Per mile)
Highest: 132.9p
Lowest: 122.9p 

Distance from Charlie's house to Toby's house: 3.4 miles
Cost of highest Diesel price for the entire journey and back:
903.72p / £9.03p

Distance from Charlie's house to George's house: 4.8 miles
Cost of highest Diesel price for the entire journey and back:
1275.84p/ £12.76p

Equipment
As displayed from the equipment list, we have several amounts of technical equipment which we plan to use during the production of our two minute intro. These all have costs so we must consider this in our budget. Here is a list of the equipment costs we must consider:

Cost of camera we will use: £120.00p
Cost of tripod we will use: £16.95p
We will use the schools softbox lighting in the studio, meaning we do not have to consider this cost.
We will use the schools podcasting kit, meaning we do not have to consider this cost.
Cost of 16gb SD we will use: £6.93p

Working on the basis that I use the train for travel, the overall cost of production, including travel and equipment costs, would work out at approximately £147.88p
