$mportanceit is very important to have control over finances when planning to film. It is also important to have

sufficient funds for the production before beginning to film. A good way of controlling finances is todocument what is spent on each of the areas you are spending in. For example, companies will spendmoney on hiring equipment, transport for actors and actresses to travel between sets and locations,

hiring actors/actresses and paying them. You will also have to hire crew for the production, materialssuch as props, costumes, lighting etc. And hiring locations and facilities. All these things are importantin maing sure the end product is as high quality as possible, the locations, effect and costumes are

relevant to the storyline and the actors and crew are talented and committed to woring on your pro!ect. "he higher quality production you are aiming for, the more you will have to spend.
