The budget for my advertisement will be £800. This money will be spent on the equipment hire which includes actors, tripods and cameras.
I found that the Nikon DSLR cameras were much more expensive compared to the Canon DSLR cameras. Taking into account the two brands and the different prices that go with it, I am going to hire the Canon EOS 1100D camera due to the fact that it is the cheapest camera to hire for 2 weeks at £98 out of them all including the £85 deposit, which brings the total to £183.
I had a range of different tripods from all different brands and the cheapest one I found was the Libec TH950/650/H22 tripod which will cost £12 a day. If I use this for the two weeks that I anticipate to film for, this tripod will cost me £168. The reasoning behind my decision is once again the cost, all these tripods that I researched would all be useful to me but I will need to keep my eye on my budget.
The price to hire a Mac Pro with Final Cut and Avid software for the editing process would cost £38 but to hire a MacBook Pro Laptop with Final Cut 7 and Avid Media Composer 6 would cost £25 so I have decided to go for the cheapest option which is the latter.
I found that hiring actors are very expensive, even for a small time period. For instance, an actor may charge around £250- £600 and even an extra could charge £90 a day for their services.
The total to hire all these pieces of equipment comes to £626. With my total budget being £800 I will have £174 left over.
