Costing/Budgeting for a short film -
Copied and pasted from a website
Reference
"It matters how many pages you have. For, example if you have 25 pages, it will cost £2000".
I got this from using a Word Search and typing in...
This will help me in my short film, because it tells me how many pages is £2000.
You should pay for sound and probably the camera man. Find someone who lives near you and just ask if they will help. If your project is interesting enough then most DP's that are not super established just want to keep building their reel. And if you are shooting something that would look good on their reel then oftentimes that is enough to get them involved. But I wouldn't get hung up on specifically getting a red.
Expect to pay a few hundred on sound.
Make sure you are recording to a separate system and that your audio guy expects to use wireless lavalieres. If he/she doesn't have them then I would look elsewhere. You can typically get by on your first couple projects without paying the rest of the crew. You should try to as soon as you can as you get more experienced, but your pay to the crew should be done by you in pre production by doing your best to schedule, cast, write, scout and plan the hell out of your project. If you do that and create a professional shoot environment, then people will want to work with you for free because it is already a solid alternative to the other projects they typically work on. Make the production a pleasure and people will beat on your door to work for free. That being said, people still appreciate the effort of giving them $25-50. It's not much, but it shows that you value them and it makes it a job for them that they now will owe you something.
I got this information from a website called 'Filmmaker Forum'. I got this site by typing up on a word search, "how much is it to produce a short film" and clicking on the first link. This is useful to my project, because it is telling me how much I would need to spend on my crew for my short film.

I got this page from a Website called, "BBC Commissioning". It shows how much Nations and English Regions is for using Documentary series and more.
This will help me in my short film, because it is about the budget for a short film. So then i will know how much English Regions will cost, from making a short film.

This book will help me and give me ideas. Underneath is the introduction to this book and it tells me that there have been published research articles regarding men who have been physically abused by their domestic partners. However, it is mostly men who abuse men than woman abusing men.

Men are abused too
Reference - I got a Journal about men being abused from a book called: 'Yoga Journal'. I got this Journal by typing up on a word search called 'Google', Domestic Violence Against Men, using a magazine word search.

My short film will also most likely be shown on 'YouTube', because it will cost less and it will be easier to show the film on YouTube. The people who will be exhibiting it, will be teenagers from 14-18. This is a charity to help men to protect themselves by woman and also men who are homosexual.

Reference - This is a Handout from Surrey. Gibbons, L. 2013. Raising awarness about Domestic Abuse DVD. I got this handout by a teacher as a introduction to the distrubuiton of Domestic Abuse films. I then Scanned this book looking for key points. I have highlighted abused men, because that is what my short film will be about. In addition, it tells you the type of people who consume short films alike to mine such as: professionals which are: Pharmacists, Chiropodists, GP's and many others to continue promoting the message about Domestic Violence and how it is a crime.

I think that this Charity would be useful for my short film, because my short film is about men being victims of Domestic Violence. I got this Charity website by typing up on a word search: charities of men being victims and then clicking on the 5th link. There are some information that is relevent on this Charity website for my short film. For example...

Oerman. A. 2014. Why isn't Hope Solo facing the same consequences as NFL players Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson? The Other Side of Domestic Violence: Male Victims.
After reading through this magazine about domestic violence, I made sure that I read it with concentration. Here is my summary, a star of the Seattle Reign FC soccer team, was allegedly punching her 17 year-old nephew and half- sister at a family party. But she didn't get banned from the Soccer team, but was charged. Then, the same thing happened again, but this time it was man named: Adrian Peterson. He was in the NFL and he abused his wife. This shows that men will get in more trouble from hitting his wife, than a woman allegedly punching her nephew.

Men are abused too
Most domestic violence is directed at women but men are abused too, in both heterosexual and gay relationships.
Seeking help as an abused man can be hard. You may feel there’s nowhere to turn or that no-one will take you seriously. Perhaps you’re ashamed about what is happening or feel like you have done something to deserve it. You may be worried that people will think you are less of a man for ‘allowing’ yourself to be abused.
No-one deserves to be abused by the person they love. You have the right to be respected
and live in safety

I copied a paragraph from the magazine and pasted it on to a word document. I then used a Underline Passage to use for my short film.
My short film, is about Domestic violence against men, so I thought this is a good paragraph for my short film. It also says about a nephew (man) getting allegedly punched by Hope Solo. This will also help me in my short film, because it is about a man getting punched.
